    I’m not sure I agree that the course numbers reflect order of difficulty. For example: from my experience, a typical 101-trained student is not likely have the sailing experience (or situational awareness) necessary to effectively implement what they may be able to retain from the 102 sail trim training. Very valuable knowledge to be sure, but IMO it would probably be more useful after students graduate the 103 level and (more importantly) get some non-training sail time in varying conditions and on different boats.
