Modern Sailing School & Club
 
       
  "The class was terrific. I know you must get many complements about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for." - John Boynton  
       
  "I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience." - John Kratochvil, Oregon  
     
  "Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training." - John Clark  
     
  "All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone." - Mike, Santa Rosa, California

 
     
  "I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way." - Steve Hood, Basic Coastal Cruising  
     
  "The Basic Keelboat course with Heather was wonderful. It was a very enriching experience for me and I truly enjoyed every minute of it on and off the water. I learned so much and her approach to teaching was so hands on and we did so much even during our lunch 'break'. Her calm and even tone over the blustery wind helped me remain calm and focused when I was at the helm handling the heeled over boat--this will carry over when I sail with my husband on the bay on our boat. " - Dorothy Tse, Women's Basic Keelboat  
     
  "Very good - John [Connolly] is very knowledgeable and does an excellent job conveying his knowledge in a positive, friendly and supportive manner. I learned more about blue water sailing in 6 days [in the Heavy Weather Offshore Course] than in 12 days on the Alaska Eagle." - Steve Rathfon  
     
  "I had a lot of fun in this class. Roy did a great job teaching us!" - Kimberly Heathorn  
     
  "After spending a weekend with JT, it's easy to see why he was twice named instructor of the year. His laid back, but informative style puts all at ease. He ties together concepts and instruction with interesting stories of his sailing past. I would highly recommend him." - Dennis Libby, Bareboat Chartering  
     
  "In a nutshell - outstanding. I was very pleased with the training program, materials, awesome boats (very clean and well organized). The Modern Sailing team is top notch. Mollie, Jack, JT and the rest of the team - thank you!" - Sergio Gonzales  
       
    Our Fleet    
     
  "The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped" - Ray Arceneaux  
     
    Coast Guard Licensing Program    
     
  "The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum."- John Kipping  
 

 

 
    Office Staff    
     
  "The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability." - Danny Collins  
     
  "Mollie did an excellent job explaining all the options and getting me in the course on a last-minute notice. Thanks for accommodating me over night. It was an enjoyable weekend that left me with a very positive impression of Modern Sailing." - Lawrence Kerver, Cruising Catamaran Course
