Private Sailing Lessons and Instruction

I'm available on a limited basis for private sailing lessons and instruction in Seattle, Washington for people who want to move beyond basic sailing skills. I can also help new sailboat owners build confidence in their sailing ability and vessel operation.

At this time, I only work with people who already have some sailing experience. My fee is a donation to Salish Sea Expeditions equal to $60 per hour of instruction.

Sailing is a blast! If you are a beginner and thinking about taking lessons- get started today by checking out Windworks Sailing Center. There are more sailing schools listed on 48° North Magazine's sailing schools page.
