"Wonderful experience as a total newbie. Instructors prepped us well and took us seriously. Built confidence step by step in real time in the high traffic of New York Harbor. Loved that offices and classroom are housed in a retired Coast Guard vessel. Thank you Steve Sedlock, Captain Geoff and everyone at True North Sailing Center."

"I had a fantastic experience learning my 101 keelboat certificate here. Steve and John were patient and easy going, perfect for my first experience sailing. Learning to sail on the Hudson right in front of Wall Street is a trip also!"

"Had an excellent time with True North Sailing. Took the ASA 101 course and Steve was super helpful with his instruction. Matt was our instructor on the water and was patient, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Learning to sail on the Hudson is a blast!"

"I took ASA 118 (Docking) at True North. It was a great experience! Really nice to have the option of doing the course on our own boat, to get comfortable with its particularities. Steve and John were both very helpful and patient. Highly recommend!"

"I took the beginner sailing course with True North Sailing School and could not be happier. My instructor Steve was extremely patient, calm, and knowledgeable. I went from knowing zero about boats to actually steering, tacking, and managing the sails with confidence in just a few days. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn how to sail."

"Just finished my ASA 101 class and had a really good experience. I had no sailing experience, and by the end of the course I feel I can go across the ocean right away. The instructor explained things clearly, and let everyone get plenty of hands-on practice. The class was fun and relaxed."

"I had an amazing experience taking ASA 101 with True North Sailing School. I really appreciated how patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging Steve was throughout the entire course. He has a great way of breaking down complicated sailing concepts and making them easy to understand. I'll definitely be back to continue building my skills!"

"It was an amazing experience and I feel like I actually understand how a sail boat works and plan to sail in the future. That's coming from someone who has never operated a boat before. Thank you again Steve!!!"

"A great school and club! I have completed my ASA 101, 103 and 104 at True North and the classes and materials provided were great. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with newcomers. Whether it is to learn, race or just go for a relaxing Sunday sail, True North is the place to be!"

"I discovered True North completely by accident and am very happy with the result. Steve is an experienced sailor with a flair for teaching. He is rigorous in his approach but does it with patience and humor making it fun to learn. I recommend this school to anybody who wants to learn to sail in the NY harbor."

"Great experience with True North Sailing. I took their Sailing 101 course, including two boat trips, and found it both engaging and very practical. Steve stands out as an instructor - he's incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely committed to helping everyone build confidence on the water."

"I recently took Sailing 101 and it was excellent and fun!! The course covered an amazing amount of information. The sailing sessions were amazing; the instructor talked us through each sailing task and each student had a chance to do several different sailing jobs. I highly recommend the course."

"I had an excellent experience with True North Sailing School. Steve Sedlock, the owner, is amazing! He genuinely cares about his students and has created a first-class sailing school. My instructor, Kevin, was outstanding, knowledgeable, and patient. It was a fantastic experience!"
