Jack Clayton

Private Instructor - Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

Rated 5/5 by 2 students

I was introduced to sailing by a grizzled old shipwright in the icy fjords of Norway on a wooden sloop he had built. Whetting a lifelong desire for a life under canvas and rigging. Several misadventures and sometime later I ended up in the Caribbean with a bunch of derelict engine-less sailboats of various designs and origins, which somehow seemed like a great idea to acquire at the time. I learned to rebuild them with primitive materials and tools, taking lessons from the innovative locals, old salts taking refuge in the hurricane hole I was posted up in, and drawing on my past experiences. It was there on these boats I began teaching sailing to volunteers that joined me on my sailing adventures and hosting a reoccurring educational sailing festival whilst also dabbling in the charter business realm. In December 2017 I decided to sail my boat solo from Guatemala to Key West. I look forward to teaching you the "ropes" in Fort Lauderdale, South Florida, and beyond!

Joaquin Diaz

Private Instructor - Miami, FL, USA

Rated 4.98/5 by 24 students

Captain J's father was a lobster fisherman. Even while fulfilling his mother's ambitions, that he become an architect, Captain J always kept a toe in the water. As the years passed Captain J's foot kept getting wetter. After finding a like-minded First Mate, Captain J sold the house, and moved to a sailboat, where the couple raised two children while island hopping the Caribbean. At the children's request "we want to be normal", we returned to civilization (a misnomer).

Carl Damm

Private Instructor - Stuart, FL, USA

I grew up sailing on the Great Lakes. After graduating with a BFA in Theatre Arts, I embarked on a 40-year career sailing professionally throughout the Caribbean, Mediterranean, East Coast USA, Bahamas, and Capetown. I have focused on safely delivering and managing offshore yachts to distant destinations. I am a proud owner of a Compact 19 and I am currently restoring a classic Tartan 27. As someone who has been fortunate to spend my entire adult life focused on pleasure and charterboat operations and maintenance, I bring a serious down to earth view of sailing. It is my passion and my profession. I know that knowledge combined with experience brings confidence and calm on the water. I am excited to share my experience and joy of sailing with students at every level.
