| Fair Wind Sailing
School – America’s Best Sailing School
operates on Lake Erie from both Sandusky, OH and LaSalle, MI.
On Lake Erie, Fair Wind's Ohio Sailing School is the
oldest and largest ASA
sailing school. In fact our Ohio Sailing
School was the first ASA affiliate operating on Lake Eire.
Our Ohio Sailing School, is conveniently
located at Battery Park Marina in Sandusky, Ohio providing easy access from Cincinnati,
Toledo, Cleveland and other locations in Ohio, Indiana and beyond. For 2008, we have added second Lake Erie sailing school in LaSalle, Michigan that provides easy access from Ann Arbor, Detroit and other points West.
We at Fair Wind Sailing School
believe Western Lake Erie is an outstanding
location for sailing instruction with open water,
excellent ports of call and well developed
sailing infrastructure. Lake Erie provides warmer
water (typically 75 degrees in Summer) than
sailing destinations further north or west on
Lake Michigan or Lake Huron. In addition, the
abundance of beautiful lighthouses, historic
monuments and sailing destinations make Western
Lake Erie one of our favorite cruising grounds anywhere in the world. |

From our Ohio Sailing School we offer our week long Instant Bareboater live-aboard
sailing lessons on a regular schedule. Instant
Bareboater sailing lessons provide ASA certification
from beginning sailing through Bareboat Chartering

other fine ports in Coastal Ohio and Michigan. The price for these sailing lessons includes on board meals and 6 nights aboard .
We
