Dan Bailey

General Manager, Sausalito

Dan's journey with Modern Sailing began in November 2022 as a client, quickly falling in love with the sport and completing his ASA 101 and 103 certifications. This passion led him to join the Modern Sailing team in March 2024 as a Customer Service Representative, where he quickly demonstrated a deep understanding of Modern Sailing's operations and a commitment to providing exceptional service.

Prior to joining MSC, Dan honed his leadership skills during his 11 years as Global Network Operations Manager for an IT Managed Services Consulting Firm and his 8-year tenure as Retail Manager for Oakley. He excels at building high-performing teams, fostering client-centric cultures, and streamlining operations for growth.

Dan's dedication to continuous improvement extends beyond the office. He has furthered his sailing knowledge by completing ASA 104 and 114 courses and logged an impressive 40 days on the water in 2024.

As General Manager of Sausalito, Dan is eager to inspire new and enthusiastic sailors, sharing the same passion for the sport that ignited his own sailing journey.

    The Full Moon Sail with Skipper Bob Gutsgell was Ah-Mayzing!! The group dynamic was lovely and the views spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Thanks so much for the wonderful Club Sails, they are really great.

    I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!

  • Steve Hood, Basic Coastal Cruising

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

  • John Kipping

    The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.
