| 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 ] |

| Review: | Former skeptic I was skeptical because of the price, not believing it could be much good for the price they are charging for lessons and boat rental programs. I was pleasantly surprised! The instructors are very experienced and patient. The boats are not all new but no one gets too upset if some one happens to run into a pier! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Best Deal in the Bay The instructors we had at Tradewinds were both knowledgeable and good teachers. The three-class "package deal" is hard to beat and the Tradewinds staff will work with you to make sure that you get what you need from the classes. Best deal in the Bay! Comments [ 0 ] |
