@the.sailing.acade: Did you know a fractional use sailing club is how Capt Jeff started? In fact, The Sailing Academy was first a Sailboat Club BEFORE we were even an ASA Sailing School. Thats how much we believe in this model to set future sailors up for success. It’s like a gym membership, but for a yacht. The best way to learn sailing is to actually SAIL — spending time out on the water and getting your reps in no matter the conditions. Sailing can have a huge financial ( AND workload 😅) barrier to entry, and a sailing club saves you from some of that. If not with us, be sure to check out sailboat club options that could work for you. You’ll gain experience, test out different vessels, and ultimately help you become smarter about your choices towards boat ownership as a goal.
