Competency is honed by time on the water...

We created our Sailing Club so that our Sailing School students can have access to many types of boats as they work on their Amercian Sailing Association (ASA) courses. We also want a fleet boat program that is affordable so that our students do go out and hone your new skills.

Practice, practice, practice, practice. This is probably not how you picture spending your sailing time, but practice is what makes a competent sailor. Strengthening your skills is what makes sailing enjoyable. And, practice makes you confident, which in turn makes your crew, family, and friends comfortable when they sail with you.

The Tradewinds Sailing Club membership not only offers you an affordable Boat Sharing Program, but also

• helps you find other members for crew or practice
• the ability to reserve a boat 24/7 - online or by phone

  What our members are saying... "Tradewinds is a family run business and takes care of its customers as part of that family." The Lutchanskys "I compared schools & clubs before joining Tradewinds and concluded that Tradewinds gave me the most for my money by far." Robert McKeague THANKS FOR MAKING OUR DREAM COME TRUE! We were sitting around the boat watching a Mexican Sunset and reminiscing about how it all started. We can still remember that first day at Tradewinds when we told our instructor, Ron, that we planned to buy a boat and cruise the world. Thanks to you we are living our dream. The instruction we received was excellent, and the chance to sail a variety of boats in your club was great for building experience and helped us define what we wanted in our boat. Your help finding and buying our dream boat was invaluable. The blue water trips we made under Bob's guidance did a lot to build our confidence. But the thing that is really special about Tradewinds, is that you made us your friends and not just your customers. Pat and Ted Stuart

Why are our fleet rates so low?

Because we offer a Boat Sharing Program, not a boat rental program. Our members share the Club boats with each other and therefore take care of the boats for the next member.

Members help keep the boats in good sailing condition by cleaning their boat after each use, reporting issues before it becomes an expensive fix, and being conscience about how they treat the boat.

And, because our members help in the care of the fleet, Tradewinds enjoys low overhead, which we pass on to you.
