What makes a sailing center? Infrastructure and comfort are our goals. With our advanced administration and large training group facilities, we know that sailors are going to appreciate and enjoy every minute of their stay at ISA.
ISA offers all-inclusive package deals, full-service facilities and world-class sailing. Conveniently located only twenty-five minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the ISA facilities are located in beautiful La Cruz, Mexico – a small oceanside town with a newly constructed world-class marina.
ISA offers package deals for Sailing Clinics in Laser, Laser Radial, Laser 4.7, Optis and 420s and has recently expanded with Kite Boarding/Windsurfing Clinics. The package deals include coaching, boat and equipment charters, accomodations, meals, mountain biking, and surfing. Facilities feature parking, an on-site boat parts store, a gym and a fuel dock.
At ISA, you are 100M from open ocean. Sailing conditions are always excellent, and appropriate for all skill levels. We want everyone’s focus to be on the sailing, kiting and windsurfer so we prepare and serve everyone with delicious and healthy homestyle meals. And at ISA, our fully experienced staff will ensure that you always have someone to sail with.
Great things are on the horizon for ISA. Over the last few months, the ISA chief staff, Chris Dold and Vaughn Harrison have been very busy participating in some of the Worlds biggest races. Vaughn spent the summer traveling through Europe, coaching Laser Radial and Finn sailors at Hyeres regatta in France, Delta Lloyd in Netherlands and Sail For Gold in England. Most recently, Vaughn was doing some tune ups with several Canadian Radial sailors in Perth, Australia in preparation for the 2011 ISAF World Championships. Chris is in search of Olympic honors, and is competing for the Canadian representation at London 2012. For the last two years has been battling terrific injuries. After going into surgery which put him out of racing for 5 months last January, Chris has made a huge rebound with his best ever Worlds results, 21st! and is currently leading the Canadians in the Olympic trials. This takes an enormous amount of perseverance and determination to meet these incredible goals.
