Captain Paul Kalina

Paul has been sailing in the Pacific Northwest for about 40 years on dinghies,
sailboards, and keelboats. For the past 25 years he has raced his Pocket Rocket 22,
Perfectly Strange, in local races and has served the sailing community as board
member and commodore at both the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club and the Corinthian Yacht
Club of Seattle.

Paul holds a USCG OUPV license and is certified to instruct ASA 101, 103, and 104.
His passion is helping others to learn to sail and enjoy time on the water.

 

Paul was an exceptional teacher. Knowledgeable, confident, calm—most of all, he seemed genuinely invested in our experience. He went above and beyond to make sure I not only understood the material but was also confident applying it. One of the best classes I’ve ever taken, period. Anonymous
