Welcome to Spinnaker Sailing School and Club

Spinnaker Sailing in Redwood City began in 1980 with 1 boat, a small floating office, and a mission to share our love of sailing with as many people as possible. Over the years we have taught thousands of students to sail and in doing so established ourselves as leaders in sailing education.

As an American Sailing Association affiliate, our courses are designed to give students internationally recognized certification through the American Sailing Association. But more than just certification, when you complete your courses at Spinnaker you leave with a sense of accomplishment and the confidence to sail anywhere in the world.

Through the years the company has gone through numerous changes but one thing hasn’t changed – our love of Sailing and the commitment to share that passion and knowledge with as many people as we can.

The staff at Spinnaker Sailing consists of a group of dedicated professionals who have many years of sailing experience and many areas of expertise. They are knowledgeable sailors and great communicators, making learning to sail, safe and enjoyable.

Our Learn to Sail Guarantee is our way of assuring you that you will be able to sail confidently on your own when you successfully complete your courses.

Whatever your interest, the entire staff at Spinnaker Sailing will always be ready to help you achieve your goals. Our commitment to you is to do everything possible to make your sailing experiences safe, enjoyable, and affordable.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
