Director of Junior Sailing
Santiago Galán, a native of Argentina, has over 20 years of professional sailing coaching experience with top sailing programs in South and North America. He has coached top Opti sailors at North American and South American Optimist Championships, as well as with LISOT. He has extensive experience coaching high school C420 teams, and coaches top 29er sailors in Miami during the winter.
Tino has led the CPYC Jr. Sailing Program for the past four years, expanding our offerings to include an 8-week team racing clinic in C420s. With a focus on safety and skills, he leads our team of instructors to deliver fun, memorable classes to youth sailors of all levels.

We look forward to welcoming Tino back to CPYC in June for another great summer!
