Want to Learn to Sail?
Norton’s Sailing School Will Teach You the Ropes.
We offer fully sanctioned ASA sailing classes to both beginners and advanced students. In fact, 40% of our students have no boating experience. The American Sailing Association (ASA) is the oldest, and in our opinion, the best sailing curriculum available. ASA credentials are recognized world wide and enable certified sailors to charter sailboats at Norton’s Sail Charters or with major charter companies elsewhere.
Norton teaches on late model Hunter sailboat with inboard power and wheel steering. The new (or nearly new) vessel is well equipped with CG requirements. Boat sizes range from 28 to 34 feet. Norton Sailing School will even teach students on their own boat if it is properly equipped. “Hands-on instruction” is paramount in Basic Sailing to Bareboat Cruising. We believe that students learn best when 90% of the instruction is on the water. Our instruction is comprehensive, yet relaxed! We want sailors to have fun while they are learning.
