Learn to sail! What else can we say? We know that
almost every one has, at one time or another, wanted to try sailing;
as a result, sailing has become one of the most popular sports.
Using guidelines established by the ASA (American Sailing Association), Spinnaker Sailing offers courses
to students from all walks of life.
Our philosophy itself is a practical one...the sooner
you put theory into application, the sooner you grow comfortable
with being at sea. You'll be guided in a step by step, hands-on
approach to sailing, striving towards a certificate of completion
from the nationally recognized American Sailing Association.

| At Spinnaker
Sailing School you'll be learning on sailboats carefully selected
for sailing in the challenging conditions of the San Francisco Bay
and Coastal Areas. All of our boats are well equipped with all the
gear necessary to sail safely and comfortably on the Bay, along with
all of the necessary safety and emergency equipment as required by
the U.S. Coast Guard. Our full-time maintenance staff assures that
the equipment is always in working condition.
There's a big difference between excellent sailors
and excellent teachers...at Spinnaker Sailing we realize this, and
know that patience and confidence are key to your success on the
water. We take great care in the selection of our instructors to
ensure not only the highest level of expertise, but also a relaxed,
personable manner that's conducive to your learning.
As one of the oldest ASA sailing schools in existence,
our programs and instructors have met the high standards of ASA
certification, with many having exceeded the requirements by far!
Our teaching staff includes ASA licensed Masters, Coast Guard Captains,
and numerous international racers with years of experience.
