| Review: | Learn to sail with a personal touch My wife and I came to Tradewinds to learn to sail and we did. We have taken two courses so far and Emily Dean and Steve Damm put us right at ease learning how to sail properly and safely. The management staff of Butch, Brandy and Matt are first rate with their hands on nature that make us feel like we are part of the boating family. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | All I needed to know about sailing I stared from scratch. I had never sailed before. Now I cruise fulltime in the Caribbean. Tradewinds get you ready for anything. All the boats are different so you 'learn the ropes' not just where a line 'should' be. You learn it all, including how to anchor (being out there it appears most people never learn that vital knowledge). All the people involved are wonderful. thank you guys. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Great for wives Sailing is a passion of my husbands. The staff at Tradewinds are very patient and supportive of wives in my position. I have particularly enjoyed the confidence I have gained from the women instructors they have and the ladies sail. Comments [ 0 ] |

| 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 ] |
