Finding time for classes and hobbies can be a challenge - particularly if you have limited vacation time and a family life to balance with career. So, here's an interesting option for anyone interested in learning how to sail or simply becoming a better sailor and obtaining certification to add to your bareboat charter resume. Or, it might be a great way to accomodate the group that has people that want to sail all day while others prefer lounging on the beach!

An article from InsideBayArea.com mentions the American Sailing Association's (ASA) "Sailing Week 2006" hosted by Sunsail at their Club Colonna Resort in Antigua. For an incredibly low price of $890 (US) per person, you get an all-inclusive (meals, etc.) holiday with access to the daysailors as well as a couple Sunsail Beneteau 473 yachts for use during your stay.

In addition to plenty of sailing time and an opportunity to tap into some of the ASA certification programs, this might be your ticket to a great getaway. Here are some details and pics from the last event.

One thing to keep in mind though is that this is June in the Caribbean. Chances are it will be plenty warm and a fair bit humid. But, if you're willing to trade that for a lower price, you might want to consider this.
