| Review: | Great & Charming Sailig School & Club I have been sailing with Modern Sailing School and Club now for just over three years. I chose to learn sailing at Modern Sailing because of their good prices and because of the reputations of their instructors, but I have chosen to remain a member of the club because the school as kept me growing as a sailor. The Modern Sailing team is a fantastic team - the knowledge and friendliness extends from the club office to the water. If you want to know what course or what boat is right for you, talk with Mollie or Jack or D - and you'll be set up. For chartering, the club has affordable boats in its value fleet for a nice sail on the Bay, a mid-range fleet if you'd like to take along a few more friends, and a deluxe fleet if you'd like to impress your family or friends. For learning, numerous courses are offered, from beginner to expert, and even quick refresher courses on skills like docking. For location, you just can't beat beautiful Sausalito -- what a great weekend get-away. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Fantastic Instructors - great boats! Before choosing Modern Sailing, I did a lot of research on different sailing schools throughout the Bay Area - and I am glad that I chose them! The boats were larger than the other schools (about 32 feet) - and easier to move around on - and very well maintained. The instructors are THE BEST. I took both the BKB and BCC courses and had two different instructors: Stan and JT. I was impressed beyond words! They were patient, very knowledgeable and understood my needs as a student. I can't imagine better instruction being available -- these guys are top notch. And the office staff is very friendly and accommodating. I could tell that their number one priority was to make sure that I was having a positive and rewarding experience - and they succeeded. I am signed up for the next course in the Spring and can't wait! Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Sail from Sausalito with a real sailing school The instructors at MSA are USCG licensed and led by John Connolly, a 45 year veteran of hanging the rags. His wealth of knowledge alone is good reason to visit this school. Their club rates are good, the classes are held in the most challenging parts of the bay, inside and outside the Golden Gate. Their boats are extremely well-equipped. Their Heavy Weather Class is six days of intense learning. Do not hesitate to investigate the opportunities available here. Comments [ 0 ] |
