Instructors
The men and women of OCSC’s instructional staff are among the best qualified and most prepared teachers in the industry. All of our instructors are licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard and certified by U.S. Sailing. They've each been carefully screened for outstanding seamanship and communication skills, and when each new instructor joins our team, they go through OCSC's "Teach the Teacher" program. OCSC’s instructors are patient, caring guides who share your enthusiasm and excitement about sailing. A big part of what they do -- on the water and off -- is inspire confidence. You can learn a little about each instructor below or come in and meet them in person.
