About

It was established with the goal of delivering exceptional education and service standards to its students, with a specific focus on cultivating top-tier sailors and experts in sail racing. ​

Director’s Welcome
To harness the power of the wind is the most challenging, yet exciting and rewarding experience in the world! The joy that comes from sharing that experience with people of all ages, in a place so fortunate as the Republic of Panama, is a privilege that can only be expressed through the creation of a school entirely dedicated to it!
I have started this journey in order to share my passion of sailing with everyone who comes to our sailing school in Panama; to give our students and club members the opportunity to feel the thrill and flow of nature's elements firsthand, and teach as many people as possible the skills it takes to become excellent in the continuous practice of the sport and art of sailing!
We strive to cultivate within each member the talent and discipline necessary to become independent sailors, the sportsmanship it takes to be gentle men and women of the seas, and the resourcefulness that can only be expected of our future generations' expert sailors. Come join us and discover the beauty of sailing!
Sincerely,
​Guillermo J. Gasperi
