Captain Tracey is a USCG licensed Master Mariner and certified ASA instructor for all courses taught at the Tracey School. He also happens to be the namesake for our little sailing fun-house.
"I've been sailing longer than I care to remember." is his standard response when asked, but almost three decades spent on the water are an asset in our business.
"Experience is the best teacher- has been the Tracey School modus-operandi since day one. Learn by doing. In conjunction with a proven structured curriculum, good instructors and equipment, mixed in with some fun, sailing can be easy, safe and entertaining. As it should be! I think we get it right most of the time and are fortunate to have such a competent staff."
