| Review: | Excellent Experience I initially chose TradeWinds because I was looking for a school with good weather, a nice selection of boats, and instructors who were concerned with the craft of sailing instead of how you look with a sweater tied around your neck. This school got flying colors on all counts. After graduation I joined their club and now I'm going back for more classes. Absolutely first rate. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Couldn't ask for more! Wow!! Tradewinds has been an amazing place to learn to sail. As a petite woman and a beginner, I was concerned about being overpowered by the men. I took my first sailing course with all women. This is a very unique option at sailing schools and really helps you learn the basic in a comfortable environment. I took the second course as a mixed gender course and still I had an incredible experience. The instructors are patient and want to make sure you have fun and learn! I highly recommend Maryann & Steve Damm for instructors. They're awesome! I now can't get enough of sailing on this beautiful Bay! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Tradewinds is Consistently Great I've been a member since 1987. I've always been satisfied with the club, and it has only gotten better, particularly since the current owner took over a few years ago. Boats are kept in tip-top condition; the courses are excellent; scheduling is easy; costs are fair. Everyone at Tradewinds is both very professional and genuinely cordial. There is a good balance between running a well-organized and efficient operation while never losing sight of the overarching mission--doing everything possible to help sailors acheive their main objective--to have FUN!!

| Review: | Best place to learn Unless you want to race competitively, Tradewinds is the place to learn and sail. The classes and instructors are all top-notch and the variety of boats gives you a feel for handling everything from 'classic plastic' to light and modern. Super family run business that is unmatched for value. Comments [ 0 ] |
