Set sail in Montana with the nation’s best ASA sailing instructors
There’s plenty of great reasons to learn to sail on Flathead Lake but one of the biggest draws is the quality of the instructors. Recently, the American Sailing Association awarded 2 of Go Sail Flathead Lake’s instructors with the “Outstanding Instructor Award”— an award only given to the top 1% of ASA sailing instructors! Here’s what makes these instructors, as well as the other amazing instructors at Go Sail Flathead Lake, some of the nation’s best ASA sailing instructors.
Montana’s ASA Sailing Instructors Are Experienced Sailors
Flathead Lake is a great place to learn how to sail because the conditions are consistent and there isn’t much boat traffic. However, the best sailing instructors have sailed on many types of boats, in many different places, and in many different conditions. One of the characteristics that makes Go Sail Flathead Lake’s instructors so incredible is that they sail, and teach others how to sail, on a variety of different waters. For example, Captain Trevon teaches sailing lessons on large catamarans in the Virgin Islands during Flathead Lake’s off season!
The Best Sailing Instructors Are Clear Communicators
The sailing instructors at Go Sail Flathead Lake believe that anyone willing to learn to sail, can learn to sail. If they notice a student struggling to understand a concept, they take it upon themselves to try different communication techniques and styles to help every student succeed. Our instructors also understand that making mistakes is part of the process and don’t over communicate or take over when students are capable of working through things on their own. “We rotated spots, succeeded, forgot to do things or turned the rotor the wrong direction and it was all good. So many laughs,” said one student in their TripAdvisor review. “We all thought we were pros when we walked off the boat at the end of the day.”
No-Stress Sailing with Go Sail Flathead Lake’s Sailing Instructors
No one learns well under stress. That’s why all Go Sail Flathead Lake sailing instructors pride themselves on being able to teach in a cool, collected manner— even under stressful conditions! “We had a wonderful time learning how to sail for the first time. Our instructor, Trevon, was wonderful. He was calm, patient, and had a wonderful sense of humor,” said one Facebook reviewer. “This really helped get me past my nerves as a first time sailor and made me want to continue to get certified.”
Students Love Their Go Sail Flathead Lake Sailing Instructors
The ASA “Outstanding Instructor Award” is presented to the top 1% of ASA instructors. How does ASA determine the winners? By the feedback they receive from sailing students! The number of students who write reviews about an instructor and that instructor’s average rating across all submitted surveys are major deciding factors in choosing the yearly awardees. That means you don’t have to take our word for it that the Go Sail Flathead Lake sailing instructors are the best— their students believe they are the best of the best too!
