| Review: | Tradewinds - a great way to start I was self taught in an 18 ft Buccaneer, but decided to get real knowledge before bareboating. Tradewinds was perfect for me, and I continue to enjoy their vacation charters and teaching courses to this day. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Best Value In The San Francisco Bay Area There are plenty of sailing oportunities in the Bay Area, but Tradewinds Sailing School, does the best job in providing quality ASA instruction, facilities, and boats, at a very affordable price to both new and experience sailors. I know a lot of sailors like myself that never would have had the opportunity to learn and experience sailing if it were not for Tradewinds Sailing School. Since joining Tradewinds three years ago, I have completed my ASA courses through Bareboat, I have chartered with other people and clubmembers to Catalina Island, Tahiti and Greece. I have also participated in the 2005 Trans Pacific Yacht race to Hawaii, and most recently I crewed with other Tradewinds members onboard Barking Spider 3, the first place winner of the " Salsa Spinnaker Division" in the 2007 Los Angelas to Puerta Vallarta ocean race. Am I happy that I joined Tradewinds? The answer, of course, is YESSSS! The folks that run this school are great people and they know what they are doing. They work very hard at providing quality instruction and equipment for their students and club members. Thank you, Joe Rivera Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Excellent SF Bay Area Sailing School and Club I did a lot of research prior to taking classes at and eventually joining Tradewinds as a member. I've highly recommended this club to others interested in sailing and would continue to do so. I feel very comfortable sailing in nearly any conditions-- I credit the range of classes offered, the excellent instructors and the access to various different make and models of boats to sail. Some of the boats are aging, but are very well maintained. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Very good school and charter fleet Caters mostly to those who want to learn to do local area, short-term cruising. Mostly middle-class members. A relaxed, fun club, lots of activities. The classes are very well designed and delivered. The instructors are (mostly) very good. The fleet is aging but is well-maintained. The staff are friendly and efficient. If you learn to sail at this school, you will become a safe and competent day-cruiser. Comments [ 0 ] |
