We live in the UK and wanted to sail during our short visit to Seattle. We were warmly welcomed and, after passing our "check session" with a friendly instructor we were immediately invited to hire a small wooden boat for the rest of the afternoon / evening. Can't recommend the location and people highly enough. Well worth a visit, even if you don't sail, because there are static boats to view and rowing boats of various types to rent.

great learning experience

Ken H - May 17, 2013

I took two lessons and both instructors were patient and helpful while teaching me about tacking, how to jibe, and docking. I wish I lived in Seattle so I could take more lessons. It was great.

What a magical moment

Gina M - May 17, 2013

After I sold my sail boat I needed to find another opportunity to sail. Going to the CWB has been aaawwwwsome. I had never sailed a boat without an engine. After a few lessons from great instructors I am loving this new experience. Besides being on the water, there is so much more to do. I am fond of the pond boats only wind driven, so sweet to watch. CWB has so much to offer, I wish I had more time to be there.

The Center for Wooden Boats is a not-so-hidden Seattle treasure, in that it pursues preservation of our maritime heritage while encouraging use of historic vessels in its collection and passing along techniques for their construction and conservation. Go sailing or row a boat!

I often come here to walk and rest. Sometimes I come here to sail. Thank you people who keep that place.
