Seeking an opportunity to feel the freedom that the wind and the water provide?
BAADS strives to make all aspects of sailing accessible. To fulfill this mission, we offer weekly small boat & keelboat sailing out of South Beach Harbor, next to Oracle Park in San Francisco.
When Cristina is not sailing, she works full time as a Trademark Attorney at the firm Shartsis Friese LLP in San Francisco.
