Tainan Anping ASA International Sailing and Yachting Certification Course
LOHAS Ocean Academy
- ASA (American Sailing Association) is a globally recognized sailing training and certification system with high international recognition, suitable for students who want to learn sailing from scratch or plan to rent boats or engage in long-distance sailing abroad in the future.
- Internationally Recognized: The ASA certification is widely accepted by charter companies and yacht clubs in more than 40 countries worldwide, making it ideal for students who want to rent boats, participate in races, or engage in long-distance sailing abroad.
- Focus on Practical Operation: Over 50% of the time is spent practicing on the boat, including departure, berthing, anchoring, and long-distance voyage planning, allowing students to truly get hands-on experience.
- Small Class Sizes: The number of people on each boat is limited to ensure that each student has enough time to operate the helm and sails.
