This afternoon sail gives an inside view of the racing sailboat life, rife with passion, toughness, and gritty, hard work. It was inspiring to watch the crew coalesce as a single unit to navigate this gorgeous vessel. Of course, they are knowledgeable and dedicated people, making it all look easy. These people are no snobs. If you wish to work... More

I totally enjoyed my afternoon on Stars and Stripes. Every member of the crew makes the experience of sailing on a world class racing yacht all the more memorable. Lynn makes sure that everyone has the opportunity to take the helm and any other crew chore you wish to experience. Bee Takes photographs that are truly wonderful and then provides... More

Being my first time on a sailboat I wasn't quite sure what to expect...but this was really so much more than I could have imagined! Captain Lynn and his talented and very helpful crew made this an experience I won't forget. I learned a lot and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego waterfront all at the same time. I would highly...

I have sailed & raced on San Diego Bay for almost 20 yrs . Whenever Stars & Stripes would glide by I would always wonder what it was like on board. Most of our group was happy to relax and sightsee. I had other plans . The crew was most gracious in answering my questions and letting me grind, trim... More

The tour given by Mark and Lynn and crew around the the San Diego Bay is amazing. There are sea lions and submarines, as well as the amazing size and scope of the sailing vessel. The crew helps everyone be involved and join in the driving and trimming! More

I moved to San Diego a year ago, and this has been the best thing I have ever done!! There are not enough words to describe how good it was, and the view was beautiful. We were even lucky to have dolphines swim along side of us!! It was so much fun and the crew was great. I cannot wait... More

Being a long time San Diego resident and sailing enthusiast, I've known about SailUSA11 for quite some time, but have never checked it out more than a brief visit to their website. When my father, who grew up sailing and racing on the Great Lakes, came to visit for the holidays we decided to give SailUSA11 a call and signed... More

Took my 17 and 23 year old boys on this boat. Started out with very little wind at noon but by mid-sail we had 15-18 knots. What a great sailing day! Captain Lynn asked both of my boys to be grinders andthey had a ball. Great crew - will try to go again when I return later thisyear with my... More
