Powered by GoogleFantastic refresher lesson! I was very pleased with my sailing lesson. I'd sailed before, but not in the last ten years, so my instructor Ken gave me a helpful refresher and let me handle the boat for nearly the entire session. I really appreciated his teaching style and the several useful suggestions he gave me on how to improve. I'm seriously thinking about completing the US Sailing Keelboat Certification with the school.
Their learn to sail programs for all ages are fantastic
Wonderful facility, great staff, and excellent accomodations for learning how to sail.
Victor Larimer is AWESOME. I wat to be on his boat. Team Victor.
We took the introductory 3 hour sailing lesson. It was my wife and I's first time sailing. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the instructor (Tom). Tom was a great instructor. He told us exactly what to do, in a clear way and at the right times. Plus he was very personable, friendly, and funny. The day was a bit of a windy one, which made for a bit more speed than I was expecting, and was alot of fun. Especially learning how to Tack and turn the ship around quickly. I recommend this basic tour if you were like us, and interested in trying out sailing and learning a few things. From there, you can decide if you want to continue learning more and pursue the sport more and certification with future lessons.
