SEATTLE: Two-Hour Private Sailing Lesson

SEATTLE: Sailing Livery Checkout
by Christian Holtz
Livery checkout was a very good experience. All staff were helpful and courteous. I was tested by Christian Holtz. I am a very experienced sailer, but... nevertheless he conducted a thorough meaningful test to assure that I would not endanger myself, others on the lake, or the Center's vessels, and I learned a couple things. The Blanchard Junior boats are great to sail and great for teaching. I look forward to renting them. The instructional videos on YouTube are excellent. Show more

SEATTLE: One-Hour Private Sailing Lesson
by Nancy Engel
I really appreciate the CWBs mission to make sailing more accessible to all but unfortunately my experience with several sailing teachers did not feel... aligned with this mission. There was a real lack of patience and some downright hostility. I’ve felt very discouraged and have had to push my self to go back to finish the lessons I pre-booked. I hope that CWB will continue to work to truly make sailing accessible. Show more
SEATTLE: Sailing Livery Checkout
by Christian Holtz
My son got checked out for rentals by Christian, who was friendly, knowledgeable (so much sailing experience!) and professional. Kathleen was awesome... too, really sweet and helpful. After the checkout we rented a beautiful gaff-rigged vintage sloop and had a blast. The entire place is relaxed, fun, and a cool nostalgia trip. Loved the variety of sights on Lake Union too, such an eclectic mix of industry, recreational boating, seaplanes, houseboats, etc. Will definitely be going back. Show more
