About Spinnaker
Our School
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.
We are an American Sailing Association affiliate school, which means our graduates receive internationally recognized certification. But more than just the certification, when you complete your courses at Spinnaker you leave with the ability and confidence to sail anywhere in the world.
