Question: What is the best sailing school in Florida? My husband and I are beginners who are interested…?
…in learning together.
We would love to someday have our own sailboat, but first we need to be properly trained to sail and maintain a vessell. Can anyone recommend a good sailing school that is both reasonably priced and appropriate for a novice?
(sailing school)

The “American Sailing Association is the leading authority on sailing instruction & sailing schools in the United States.” The American Sailing Association publishes annual lists of outstanding schools and instructors. These are the 2008 Florida winners published this year. (Note: their ratings are based on student evaluations)
