| Review: | Great experience in Bahamas I did a one week Bareboat course in the Bahamas. Not only was it a good time, it was a great learning experience, as the weather in February is not always co-operative, and the shallow water in that region keeps you on your toes constantly. Fairwinds runs a safe operation, lots was learned, and we managed to have a little fun in between. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | The Complete Package I have had the opportunity to take many classes with Fair Winds Sailing, from the basic keel boat, to catamaran, to ocean passage, and have nothing but high marks for Captain Dave Bello and his crew of instructors, and fleet of boats. I even rented a boat for a one week charter with my 5 kids, and we had a blast. You'll get top notch instruction, well maintained equipment, and loads of fun on a trip with Fair Winds Sailing School. Book a course today, you'll be glad you did. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Advanced 106 class excels beyond expectation! I had the privilege of completing my advanced coastal sailing certification,#106, with Capt. Dave Bello. His blue water experience and expertise provided a very sound basis for my learning. He was, as is the entire Fairwind Sailing School program, constantly teaching about the safety aspect in this advanced training. Preparing for the unexpected before you need to use it was a constant teaching point. The vessel we sailed was in tip top condition, and the organization of material provided a complete review of the material required for this open water experience. I would strongly recommend this training for anyone thinking of cruising, whether in the islands or the Great Lakes I am a confident sailor because of Capt. Dave's instruction and attention to details of safety and sailing in blue water. Gary H. Ohio Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Learn sailing and vacation too! My dream for my 59th birthday was to go sailing in the Caribbean. My wife has been very nervous sailing on our small boat and could benefit from sailing school. We had an absolutely wonderful trip with Fair Wind Sailing School on the La Bella Vita catamaran with Captain TC. I had planned to sail on a monuhull, but scheduling left us with the cat, which was very nice, and my wife much preferred it. Fair Wind Sailing provided the biggest bang for the buck, with a full week of liveaboard sailing and 4 ASA certifications. Yes, it was a lot of work, we spent 3-4 hrs a day doing book work, then sailed for the afternoon, but we still managed to have a very enjoyable trip, snorkeling, dining out a few times and having a great evening at Willie T's! We both learned huge amounts during this time and with TC's patient insistence, my wife learned how to do a man over board pickup successfully, so now she can save me if I go over, rather than sailing on without me! I can't wait to fulfill my next dream of chartering a boat and cruising the islands, thanks to Fair Wind Sailing School. Comments [ 0 ] |
