Greetings!
Welcome to 2013! This is a momentous year for ASA, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary. Our members, schools, and instructors make it possible, and we couldn't be more excited to do it all again for another 30 years. 2013 will be full of great sailing adventures, large and small. We have an amazing slate of flotillas scheduled, tons of events around the country, and of course, thousands upon thousands of sailors to train at our network of schools. Thank you for being with us--here's to a great 2013!
Please enjoy, and email us with your suggestions so that we can continue to improve it. We hope to see you at one of ASA's flotillas, member events, or regional boatshows soon! Sincerely,
Charlie Nobles
