THIS IS A NON-ASA class.

Do you want to know how to navigate?
Do you want to always know where you are?
Do you want to learn how to use a compass, chart and plot a course?

Beginner Class:
Our Navigation Classes are held at West Coast Multihulls’ Main Office.

Ultralite Dividers
Class materials
$80.00 Approx Value, Yours FREE

These navigation tools are the SAME tools I use in my navigation. You do not need parallel plotters (walkers). These are not cheap (get-you-by) tools that you can find in a box of Cracker Jacks but REAL daily-use navigation tools.

You will need to bring with you blank paper and pencils / eraser
