I see 4 choices for training in San Diego. They all look really good. I guess the next step is to get their detailed brochures with applications, rates, etc. and make a final determination.

• San Diego Yacht Charter - 2 day program on a 34’ Catalina. About $600-$700 for four to learn.
• Harbor Sail Boats - 2-day ASA101 class on a 22’ Capri. About $800 for four to learn.
• San Diego Sailing Academy - 3-day ASA101 class on a 30’ (I think they’d let the kids hang out for not a lot more $80 or somesuch). $1000 for 2 of us.
• J-World San Diego - It looks like they have 2 1-day programs: Sail1 and Sail2 which the say covers the skills a charter company needs to see. Prices not listed.
