Note;

As a Student Sail Pass holder (unrated), you can take practice sails with our rated sailors (Mentors and/or Water Instructors) all you want, as often as you want. You can take the Level 1 tests when you feel ready. After qualifying, you can take the L1 boats out as the skipper as often as you like, consistent with some common-sense rules, of course. For example, ASI does not allow single-handed sailing. You’ll learn more about this in the classes.
Also;

Unrated members have two years to get the Level 1 rating but getting the Level 1 rating can be easily accomplished after your classes in the same year. The program was designed that way. If for any reason you are unable to complete your rating in two years, just sign up for the class again. If you believe you have a situation that needs review, we offer a process for that thru our Operations Team, just let us know


MINIMUM VOLUNTEER HOUR REQUIREMENTS:

    ASI is a non-profit, and for the most part, all-volunteer organization, ASI is dependent upon the involvement of our members for success.
    Let us know what your skills are, and where you'd like to participate. Volunteer hours are satisfied by performing maintenance, instructing, being a dock master, and in many other areas (check www.sailasi.org for a more complete list).

The following is a schedule of the minimum volunteer hours required to maintain any sail pass.

All Sail Pass-holding members give back, based on their rating:

Unrated students - 6 hours the first year; 12 hours there after.
Level 1 --------------- 12 hours (includes returning unrated students)
Level 2 --------------- 22 hours (12 hrs. on Level 1 boats and 10 hrs. on Level 2 boats)
Level 3/4 ------------- 32 hours (12 hrs. on Level 1 boats, 10 hrs. each on Level 2 boats & Level 3-4 boats)
Interlake Racers -- 2 additional volunteer hours (must involve Level 1 boat maintenance)
