Freedom 21 Sailing Organizations

United States

• American Sailing Association.  "The American Sailing Association (ASA) is dedicated to promoting safe recreational sailing in the United States by administering an internationally recognized education system. The ASA is an association of sailors, professional sailing instructors, sailing schools and charter companies.
  
  The ASA's education system consists of Certification Standards for students and instructors. These Standards are minimum requirements of knowledge and ability in safety and seamanship. ASA Certification provides documentation of an individual's acquirement and is recognized by many national authorities, charter and insurance companies.
  
  Sailors may join the ASA and take advantage of many valuable member benefits. Contact the ASA for more information." 
• Catboat Association.  An organization for catboat owners including Freedom 21 owners.
• US Sailing.  "US SAILING's roots are based in racing, but, the organization has developed programs and services for all sailors.
  
  For more than 20 years, US SAILING has been training and certifying instructors in both dinghy and keelboat. Five years ago, the organization introduced the Keelboat Program. This comprehensive program provides new sailors with a clear pathway of education from the beginning sailor to the offshore passage maker. It also provides experienced sailors with a way to improve their skills at any level. The certification program is transferable between all of the schools in the US SAILING system."
