Hi Sailors,

I don't know about you, but sailing is not just wind in your hair. Like sitting in the cockpit and watching the sky turn orange to dark sharing wine and sailing stories. Don't have a boat? Don't have a clue? Don't worry!

I have lived in Atlanta for the past 20+ years and missed my water time. 4 years ago I bought my first sailboat in St Pete and began spending 100+ days aboard. Two years later I started an ASA sailing school (SmarterSail) and I'm looking to share the sailing experience.

Our Friday night sails and events are strictly social. Our other events are done with our "teaching hats on" with ASA sailing courses and clinics, etc. Events that will make your sailing experience both safe and enjoyable!

We offer advice, lessons and low-cost sailing events while not forgetting the fun part. If you're in Annapolis, MD or St Petersburg, FL have oceans of fun with us on the saltwater.

Join us if you're a sailor or want-to-be.

Fair Winds...

Gary
