I want to get a little sailing dinghy or a Hobie Wave to cruise around the marina.. Do I need to get a full-blown asa sailing license? What's the best way to learn? The full-blown license (lessons) cost $600.. Is there an alternative to a simpler license
I would recommend getting lessons of some sort, although they may not be necessary if you have had experience with boating; most things in sailing just require knowledge of where the wind is coming from, and how it hits your sail(s). Once you get the

Congratulations to the Boston College co-ed sailing team, who earned another National title in the Gill/ICSA Dinghy National Championships at the Columbia River Gorge in Cascade, Oregon. The victory is the school's fifth Sailing title and second straight co-ed National Championship.
Boston College earned 161 points in the win as the Eagles' B-Division boat led the way with just 66 points and top four finishes in 10 of their 14 races. Boston College's A-Division boat finished with 95 points.
Hobart & William Smith finished second with 188 points, while Harvard had 190 points. Georgetown earned 203 points to finish fourth and St. Mary's rounded out the Top 5 with 210 points.
Already 380 boats have signed up for the regatta which will be the biggest sailing event in Ireland in 2011. The competing sailors are drawn from Dublin Bay yacht clubs as well as from across Ireland with added participation from English, Welsh, Scottish, Isle of Man, French, Spanish, German and Danish yacht clubs.
For many of the boats in the cruising classes, Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta 2011 will be the culmination of hard training and participation first at the ICRA National Championships at Royal Cork Yacht Club in Crosshaven (17th – 19th June) and then the Sovereign's Cup at Kinsale (22nd – 25th June.) When the first starting guns are fired in Dun Laoghaire on the afternoon of Thursday 7th July, the fleet form should be clearer based on the results from the earlier regattas.
The University of Rhode Island women’s sailing team captured the national dinghy championship by winning the final race in the Sperry Top-Sider/Intercollegiate Sailing Association Women’s National Championship on Thursday in Cascade Locks, Ore.
The five-member club team won the first national women’s small boat sailing title in the 75-year history of the sport at URI; the men’s team, which was a varsity squad at the time, took the championship in 1977.
URI bested a field that was largely dominated by varsity teams. Finishing behind URI in the top eight were Connecticut College, St. Mary’s (Md.), Brown, Yale, Old Dominion, Harvard and the Coast Guard
When we're not cleaning, cooking, repairing, snorkeling, maintaining, writing or dinghy-ing about, we are most likely reading. It is one of the real pleasures of cruising. You start with a good collection of books on board and after they are read, they are traded to other boaters. You urge your guests on board to bring some new books that they'll leave behind - refreshing the cruising community's supply of new material. Last night, during a dinghy raft-up / drift, sunset viewing, adult beverage event in the "swimming pool", there were big negotiations on book trades. We were the "fresh meat" having come from Honduras and Providencia. We also had some different books.
The most common genre out here is the murder/mystery/investigation/thriller best sellers by folks like Grisham, Baldacci, Ludlum, Cornwell, Woods, etc. You have to try to remember if you already read it at these trades. We stamp all the books we read with an "Astarte" stamp in the front - that way we can take a quick look if we actually read that "particular" book (not necessary that book because obviously several of the same book float around the community). Then there are the ones that you pick up in a trade that you wouldn't have bought in a bookstore but end up being favored reads. We both loved "Blue Latitudes" by Horowitz - the retracing of a Cook exploration; Bob in the Baltic - a funny travel read by a British comedian and others....
Derwent sailing thriller
IN 1977, as a teenager, Glenn Bourke won the junior Moth dinghy champion on Hobart's Rver Derwent. Yesterday he scored another championship victory on the windswept river, the Australian championship for the SB3 high-performance keelboat class.
