David Dolenc | Modern Sailing

David Dolenc

Instructor

David grew up windsurfing and sailing in the Adriatic Sea, learning the ropes from the legendary Mirko Bogić. After joining Modern Sailing in 2021, he rapidly mastered the local waters, earning a comprehensive suite of certifications (including Advanced Coastal Cruising and Marine Weather) and crewing on nearly every vessel in the Modern Sailing's two locations. When not teaching or volunteering with the Blue Water Foundation, you can find him on his beloved Olson 25 “Sea B” in the Bay, either single-handed or with his wife, kids, and golden retriever.

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

    It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.

    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.

    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.

    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.
