If you are looking to for a boating school that has teeth, that is
meaningful, that has enforced standards, Club Nautique is perhaps the
pinnacle. Frustrated with student certification standards, especially for the
often dangerous San Francisco environment, Club Nautique Founder and past Director and Vice President of US Sailing Don Durant collaborated with Anthony Sandberg of OCSC to write a
rigorous keelboat certification system, which is now governed by US Sailing.
Don and Anthony both have their separate US Sailing certification site schools
and say the healthy competition has, “stimulated excellence on both their parts.”
