Know No Coast Sailors

A sailing school in Denver is helping people start on smaller reservoirs and pursue their dreams of bigger waters. Ken shares how Victoria Sailing School builds skills and confidence—from learning on Colorado lakes to preparing for coastal sailing, chartering, and saltwater adventures. Drawing on more than two decades of teaching, Ken explains why starting on a small keelboat matters, how patient and adaptable instruction helps students grow, and why a supportive instructor team can make the journey feel possible. He also looks ahead to Victoria Sailing School’s future: creating more opportunities for inland sailors to take their next steps toward bigger water.
