Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

After talking (and listening!) to a folks here and elsewhere, I've decided to take a short day out with a seasoned skipper to see how I like it, then go for the ASA combo course afterwards. I do...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

I am also a seat-of-my-pants-er. It's taking all the adulting I can muster to not quit my job and move to Florida last week. I typically can't stand winter but this year it's even worse because I...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Haha, you know me too well. I have already started working on some stuff. My channel is going to be called 'On the Run to Nowhere'. I don't care about becoming famous but I like following those...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Thank you for clarifying that. That does make sense and I admire how seriously you took your education and preparation for your boat! :)

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Wow, thanks for these. I found a Chrysler Dagger 14 with a trailer nearby. Looks pretty cool.

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

At the risk of diluting my thread (although I have a lot of great leads now, so perhaps it's okay), what are some decent sailing dinghies I should check out?

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

I tell people Kansas City is a nice place to be from. I love its history and art and music, but I will never go back to Missouri. Too many guns, too much religion, too much racism and too many...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Hi Laila, I have absolutely zero experience at this point, aside from online lessons of varying quality (seminars, classes, helpful tips, etc). I have yet to set foot on a sailboat.

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

This is great Dan, exactly what I'm looking for. $400 per 5-hour block of private instruction. When coupled with online theory courses, a couple of these would probably leave me feeling confident....

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Fellow Midwesterner! :) No offense meant because I appreciate your response, but this looks more like a sailing vacation rather than the inexpensive lessons I'm asking for. When a company doesn't put...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Right, none of the other comparable options I have researched so far are above $2000. Where did you get that training, if you don't mind saying?

Say, Power Squadron looks very interesting and...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Colgate got back to me with a quote for their 101, 103 & 104 combo class. At over $6200, this is too rich for my blood unless I go home with a boat. I guess that's the reason they don't list prices...

I will absolutely look you up. I'm only 3.5 hours from Montreal. Same invitation goes out to you if I find a boat!

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Wow, I'm your first post! I'm honored! :smitten:

I just looked up Flagship and so far they are the most reasonable, even for the ASA courses. Thank you for letting me know about them and good luck...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Do I understand that there is no practical training with NauticEd? No time on the boat until the exam? I don't say this to be critical, but I feel like that would not leave me very confident to be on...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

I love this idea and it's similar to what boatman61 said earlier. The challenge is finding someone to take me on. I posted to Crew Available but got nothing, and Crew Wanted seemed to be mostly for...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

Which is why I'm looking for sailing lessons.



Trying to get me to think is a lost cause!



I don't deny any of that, but respectfully, it's not what I asked. I asked for specific...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

My apologies. I assumed that being certified would enable one to gain employment. I am not opposed to taking ASA courses but my question was whether there are equivalent non-cert courses that cost...

Re: Seeking Sailing Instructor Recommendations in Florida

I like the idea of these combined courses, but it seems they're usually REALLY expensive.
