Hi, we’re Bob and Maureen Remsing, the Chicago and Winthrop Harbor SailTime base owners. We discovered a way to share our excitement and passion for one of life’s greatest pleasures: boating on Lake Michigan. Our own experiences of learning to sail, then finding, purchasing and maintaining “the right boat” led us to look for a better way to enjoy life.
SailTime is that better way. We provide experienced trainers that will guide you through your desired ASA Certification level: Basic Keelboat to Advanced Coastal Cruising.
