About Bryan Hayes

Bryan is a passionate sailor and sailing instructor who fell in love with sailing the first time he felt the boat accelerate from the wind. He calls that his "love at first heel." From that moment on, Bryan was hooked on sailing and has been sharing his love of the sport with others ever since.

Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced sailor, Bryan can help you achieve your sailing goals. He offers private sailing lessons that are tailored to your individual needs and skill level, allowing you to learn at your own pace and on your own schedule.

Bryan is also an avid racer and enjoys competing in regattas on Lake Michigan and beyond. He believes that sailing is not only an individual sport, but also a team sport, and he emphasizes the importance of teamwork and strong fundamentals in all of his lessons.

In addition to his dedication to teaching and racing, Bryan is committed to environmental sustainability and works to minimize the environmental impact of his business. He uses eco-friendly cleaning products on his boats and teaches his students about the importance of protecting our waterways and marine ecosystems.

Join Bryan for a private sailing lesson or a fun sail on the lake and experience the thrill of sailing firsthand. Whether you're looking to learn the basics of sailing or want to improve your racing skills, Bryan can help you achieve your sailing goals and become a confident and skilled sailor.
