The Harbor 20 Sailing Club provides excellent ASA Sailing instructors who are also highly qualified US Coast Guard License Captains. Our instructors are great sailors and racers, but more importantly, they really know how to teach. They know how to communicate in a way that makes learning enjoyable and fun. Our captains are patient and friendly, and you will come away with the competence and confidence to sail.
