New York City Sailing School Recommendations

Hi,

I am currently looking for a beginner keel boat sailing course in the New York City Area. Any recomendations?

A friend of mine took this course a couple of years ago and kept a sailing membership. He enjoyed it.

I took the basic keel boat course at this place on City Island, Bronx, NY over 5 years ago and found it to be well run: New York Sailing Center & Yacht Club: sailing school, club and marina.
At that time they were using Benetteau 21's which I think they still have.
There are also outfits at the Chelsea Piers (Sailtime, which uses Hunters), NY Sailing Club (which have mostly Solings) that offer the 'basic keel boat' courses in either ASA or USS(?) certification.

Were you able to find a sailing school? How did it turn out?
