Instructor
Ken Passeri’s love of sailing began as a boy in the 60s sailing the family Sunfish in Foster City and the South Bay. He began teaching sailing in Sausalito in the late 70’s and early 80’s. In those years he became an expert San Francisco Bay windsurfer.
Since then, Ken has spent most of his sailing time in the Bay and Delta and in Southern California waters out to Catalina Island. He has chartered in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. Ken has a completed a few ocean passages, both to Hawaii and to Mexico spending time in the Sea of Cortes. Since 2019, after obtaining his Coast Guard license, Ken has been teaching sailing at all levels from basic keel boat through coastal passage making in monohulls and catamarans, in around the San Francisco Bay with Club Nautique.
He has a special interest in, and has taught, celestial navigation. Ken’s current boat is a Catalina 36 MK II and he enjoys cruising local Bay and Coastal waters.
