San Francisco Sailing Lessons

I have taught many people how to sail on San Francisco Bay. I truly enjoy teaching sailing and I am a talented and patient teacher.

I am a certified sailing instructor with American Sailing Association (ASA) and I can provide private or group lessons.

 

My Approach to Teaching

My approach to teaching sailing is very "hands-on". I will hand you the helm and let you feel the boat as we go through different maneuvers. I have taught sailing to first time sailors, intermediate sailors and experienced sailors getting ready for chartering and coastal cruising.

Teaching sailing well is actually surprisingly difficult, because there are three things that are required at the same time.

  1. The instructor must have excellent teaching skills.
  2. The instructor must be an expert sailor.
  3. The instructor must be able to let go and allow the student to experience the boat, wind and waves.

I have spent many years providing San Francisco sailing lessons and refining my sailing and teaching skills. I truly enjoy teaching others the joy of sailing San Francisco Bay. I will gladly teach any or all passengers on a trip.

 

Cost

Sailing lessons can be included (at no extra cost) on any sailing charter.

 

The cost for San Francisco sailing lessons is the same as for any of the trips on Flying Tiger (no extra charge for lessons). The minimum charge for sailing lessons is the cost of the three-hour cruise.

 

A gift certificate for sailing lessons makes the perfect gift (anniversary, father's day, birthday, graduation, etc).  Please call me to discuss any details or questions you may have.
