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.

    Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.

  • Steve Hood, Basic Coastal Cruising

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

  • Ray Arceneaux

    The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

  • Mike, Santa Rosa, California

    All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone.
