| Review: | Good outfit! I found this school to be a very good value for the basic 3-course cruising package in 2005. Very good instruction, good boat maintenance, and an effort on showing how to handle boats properly, with no shortcuts. They are expanding their fleet. Good monthly membership options, good service & support. Recommended! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | I love this school! From the moment I walked in to register for my first class, everyone was so friendly and extremely helpful. Our instructors-5 so far-have all been very knowledgeable, encouraging, respectful, pretty funny, and very very competent. None of them have ever yelled or panicked. They definitely know how to challenge you, make you think on your feet, and push you without making you feel pushed. I have learned so much from this place. It's also a great place for couples to take classes together and a great place for women! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Suburban Princess Learns to Sail After years of sipping wine in the cockpit while everyone else had all the fun I talked my husband into the ASA basic keelboat course at Tradewinds Sailing School and Club, Brickyard Cove, Pt. Richmond. Our Instructor, Ken, was terrific as well as the rest of the staff we met. He was patient, thorough, encouraging, and an amazing sailor. By day 4 we were having fun, enjoying our increased confidence and well prepared for the ASA 101 exam. The Cat 22's were spunky and challenging for me (tiller dyslexia!) with the outboard/tiller action; but the experience was so positive we joined the Sailing Club and are taking the Coastal Cruising class next month. Great people, great equipment, competitive prices in a beautiful Marina. I don't think it gets any better than that. Thanks, Tradewinds! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Amazing Birthday gift!!! Sailing lessons at this school was the most amazing birthday gift I will ever receive. I met such amazing people and learned so much. We spent more time on the water than I expected to. It was a laid back/relaxed environment where everyone felt comfortable learning and making mistakes. I will definitely be back for more classes in the spring. Thank you so much. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | A good learning experience It has been a couple years since our classes, but the insturctors were good, knowledgeable, and thorough with each member of our group. It was challengeing when we moved the the second class to use a boat with a tiller, instead of steering wheel. One thing that is hard to improve on is the learning areas for sailing, just outside the marina. they are relatively free of interference and traffic. Comments [ 0 ] |
