| Review: | Allabroad did it for me Great school with great instructors, I have been with 3 other schools prior to ASA but chose them to do my half Fastrack course. I passed easily and felt confident in the exam, the other 4 also passed. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Excellent Experience I initially chose TradeWinds because I was looking for a school with good weather, a nice selection of boats, and instructors who were concerned with the craft of sailing instead of how you look with a sweater tied around your neck. This school got flying colors on all counts. After graduation I joined their club and now I'm going back for more classes. Absolutely first rate. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Mediocre about sums it up. I was really looking forward to my weekend sailing course but was a bit let down by MSS. They seem to be more like a get em in get em out type of outfit teaching tons of people each weekend. The classroom component was ok and I was excited to get out on a boat on Saturday, until I actually got on the boat with the four other people. The cockpit (new sailing jargon) was extremely cramped and the instructor even made comments about how there were too many people on board for comfort. All of us banged our knees and got bruised up. The sailing was fun but the instructor a bit of a bore - I also found it weird how he said he didn't even have any real sailing credentials!? 10 hours a day was waaaayyyy too much. Anyway all in all okay. I feel like if I were to do this again I would look elsewhere - maybe somewhere a bit more personal. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Be aware of all policies before signing up Don't do business with this guy via email or phone. If you choose to sign up for his Tahoe class, then be sure to use Paypal (not a credit card) and go to their website to read ALL of the terms and conditions. I relied on an email which was my mistake. Their policy does not allow for cancelations, even months in advance, unless you buy insurance from them. It's possible that this is due to the cash flow problems that small businesses experience with seasonal demand. So who knows how stable they are and if your deposit is at risk anyway. He kept our $400+ deposit even though we offered more than 30 days notice. My mistake but he was really rude in the way he handled it in "schooling" me. Who knows what his attitude is once they have your money and they get you in the classroom or on the water. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Fun and Flexible Captain Kim was excellent, teaching both my husband and me, as well as taking time to teach a bit to our small children, ages 5 and 7. We were able to learn the necessary skills, and enjoy some great wind! Comments [ 0 ] |
