Maureen Vild

Instructor

We met Maureen on a Sea of Cortez trip in 2016, and we had a great time! She’s been sailing since she was little, and having retired early from a career in hi-tech, she’s been spending her time teaching sailing on her own boats, those of her clients, and for us! Maureen owns a Catalina 400, crews on races, leads sails for the WSA, and can help you learn to sail and cruise, and earn your SLC. Maureen earns high marks from her students and for her, it’s all about the experience and having fun!
