| Review: | A very satisfied customer Before I selected Tradewinds, I searched all the schools in the San Francisco bay area, and discovered that Tradewinds is the best school for the money. I have now taken six classes through Tradewinds and found the instructors to be knowledgeable, patient, and experienced. I will continue to take advanced classes as they are offered, and recommend Tradewinds to everyone who is interested in sailing. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Teaches competence and confidence I have been around Tradewinds for about 15 years as a student, member and boat owner. Obviously I have been happy with it or I wouldn't have stuck around. Tradewinds teaches you to become a good sailor in the often challenging conditions of San Francisco Bay. People are nice and friendly and know what they are doing. Some of the fleet is older but well maintained. Likewise, the offices/classroom is fine but not fancy -but its all about the boats, isn't it? As I boat owner, I feel confident with members using my boat because Tradewinds does a good job making sure people know what they're doing. The cost can't be beat. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Sailing Confidence The instruction and instructors at Tradewinds are superb. They are patient with their students. They prepare you well for the ASA certification tests. Most importantly, Tradewinds has instilled a level of confidence in me to be able to handle difficult situations that can occur on the SF Bay. Butch, Brandy, Matt, et. al. continue to support their members after the classes. I have on many occasions e-mailed, or telephoned, with what I was afraid was a stupid question. I receive a prompt response that is never demeaning. Regardless of your sailing skill, you can't go wrong with Tradewinds. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | World's best deal Tradewinds is the best deal I've ever seen. For a reasonable monthly fee, you get complete access to their fleet of boats (after you've gone through a free checkout on each boat). So not only do you learn about a lot of different boats, but you can go out for just a few hours, all day, or even overnight. It's like having your own boat for less than you would pay for slip fees. In addition, the instructors are all top notch, friendly , and have one goal in mind- to make you a competent sailor. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Most affordable for classes and membership My husband and I took the classes together and they were very good about accommodating classes during the week. The location of their boats were convenient for sailing the bay or the delta. Comments [ 0 ] |
