CHARTERS |
Lord Nelson Charters Sailing School offers professional instruction designed to help you achieve your sailing goals and fulfill your sailing fantasies!

Fact #1: We have the Best-Qualified Instructors! Our sailing instructors are U S Coast Guard licensed captains and have been certified to teach sailing by the American Sailing Association. We are one of the few schools in the country qualified to teach ALL LEVELS of ASA instruction including 105 Coastal Navigation, 106 Advanced Coastal Cruising, 107 Celestial Navigation, 108 Offshore Passagemaking, and 114 Cruising Catamaran. There is no substitute for experience. Fact #2: We have the Best Student to Instructor Ratio! We put no more than 3 students per boat with 1 Instructor. Many classes will have only 2 students per boat. This allows for one-on-one with the Instructor and no time sitting around a cramped cockpit watching others sail the boat! Fact #3: We use experiential "On the Boat" training! We have found that "On the Boat" training is far more effective than sitting in a classroom discussing sail theory. The best way to learn is practical application with your hands on the tiller under the guidance of our Instructors. All instruction is done dockside and on the boats. The Result? Certification can be accomplished in a specified amount of course time. Fact #4: We are the only Lake Lanier school located on a major resort! Why spend your sailing time and dollars at a marina when you can enjoy the luxury of Lake Lanier Islands complete with hotels, dining, waterpark, golf and much more. Bring the whole family if you like. Let them play while you sail! |
