We own a 27 ft Catalina near DC on the Potomac River. We recently started to race her in local…read moreweekly races and we wanted to upgrade our skills. As a Co-owner, I first took the performance sailing classes. We then asked the school if we can hire an instructor for a day to give us personal instruction on both our boat and how to fly our spinnaker. The school sent to us Sean, an instructor with tons of experience with spinnakers of all types. Sean provided us a detailed assessment of our equipment and the role of each member of crew-- the pit person, the trimmers and the foredeck person. At the end of the day of flying the chute, we all felt more confident and are ready to race spin fleet.

I'm a member of the Flyer 9 PowerTime boat at SailTime Annapolis. I love SailTime! I evaluated…read moreseveral other options when I joined and SailTime had the best fleet options by far. The Annapolis location is especially great. There are regular social events, a great clubhouse, and incredible team to support everything. SailTime is remarkable at how quickly they address reported issues. Just yesterday I reported a few minor issues during my check off and they are already scheduled to be fixed tomorrow! Sailtime is really the best way to boat in my opinion. It's so nice to not have to worry about maintenance, winterizing, and all the other things that typically come with boat ownership. It's far cheaper than owning. Some things still could use improvement. Sailtime Plus, while extremely promising, isn't the most straightforward to use/book. I didn't hear back when I inquired about using it through the site. Building a better automated system for using SailTime Plus and checking availability at other locations would be awesome. I'd even plan trips around which locations had availability. There is one thing I would change if I ran SailTime. An additional charge pay-per-use option to have the boat prepped, stocked with sheets, refueled, docked, rinsed, and covers put back on. Not sure if there is enough interest in something like this to justify it but I'd definitely use and love it! Overall, I love my membership. I was worried I wouldn't feel like I got enough time on the boat but I don't feel like I've had any issues finding availability. I get plenty of use for my satisfaction. There are lots of days (especially weekdays) when the boat is completely unused. The other members are wonderful and take great care of the boat. I highly recommend joining!

Everyone was superb, professional, organized, and really went out of there way to make the entire 3 day / 2 night course such a great time. Capt. Gary was the best: a patient teacher, knowledgeable sailor, a kind, humorous soul, and really instilled fun and learning into the course. The 40' boat was clean, well-equipped, and sailed great. My crew mates were excellent company. Accommodations were very comfortable -- a great sailing vessel. Upon returning to port (after slogging through a dreary, cold, rainy last day), Tammy had prepared delicious Crab Bisque and cookies! What service! Can't say enough about the experience!
