| Review: | Great School, Great Sailing, Great People You'll find all of those at Tradewinds. The instruction I've received has been top-notch, with Steve Damm doing a fine job of adapting the course exercises to the skill of the participants. The sailing in the SF Bay is awesome, with lots of opportunities to experience different conditions. Most of all, the people at Tradewinds are the kind of folks you want to be around. They are concerned with your progress as a sailor and go to great lengths to make it a good experience. The people you meet through Tradewinds classes and events are also great. Highly recommend a relationship with this sailing school/club. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Cannot Get Better There is no better school for sailing than Tradewinds. Why? Let us get into the cost. You cannot find one more reasonable. More, the boats in which one first learns are new Catalina 25s and the instruction is top-of-the-line. Now, as one steps up the boats are not all new, but there is variety which can only make one a better sailor. I think the best reason to study at Tradewinds is that they work out of love and not greed. The owners want you to succeed and want you to sail; they love what they are doing and it passes on down to the club members. They are always there to give you a helping hand, and this is very important when sailing in the SF Bay, a complex place to master. --Herman Haluza Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Awesome class and club Just finished my bareboat cruising class, and as always, I am thrilled with both Tradewinds and the instruction. Informative, smart and fun - it's really the perfect balance of essential know-how. The folks at Tradewinds provided a great service and atmosphere from the first day I walked through the front door, and out to their dock. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Confidence Builder Having met scuba diving, my husband and I love the water. When we recently moved to the SF Bay area, we decided to take up sailing. The people at Tradewinds made it easy! We signed up for the three-course package and have completed two classes so far. I lacked confidence, but the patient and thorough instructors taught me that I really could do it. Butch, Brandy and Matt are wonderful; they provide excellent customer service. Boats are kept in good repair. I highly recommend Tradewinds. Comments [ 0 ] |
