"OUTSTANDING SCHOOL OF THE YEAR" — AGAIN & AGAIN!

KUDOS TO OUR CAPTAINS FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING STUDENT RATINGS!

We've added more great captains to our staff and certified many more sailors. In late 2007, we moved our classrooms and offices into our new location in Fernandina Beach's downtown Historic District!

714 Beech St.- Windward Sailing Headquarters

Our headquarters are in a 1907 Victorian home built by a famous local Harbor Pilot, Captain William Bell. There is a carved wooden bell at the top of each peak—a Bell Brothers trademark. It's called the Lowe house, named after the original owners. The second owners had the house in the family from 1922 to 2007. We are proud and excited to be the third owners of this landmark building.

The corner of South 8th & Beech Street is easy to find, and we're across from two of the island's most popular restaurants! Plus... it's convenient to the downtown marina!
