Ted Lewis

Lockport, Illinois USA

Level IV Bareboat Charter Master Rank Qualified Sailing Instructor / Assessor

Rated 5/5 by 4 students
I grew up spending my summers at the lake boating, fishing, swimming and skiing. It wasn't until I was an adult that I went sailing. I was hooked. I joined 3rd Coast Cruising so I could learn as much as I could about every aspect of sailing. I became a skipper in the club, signed up for the SLC program with NauticEd and went on to get my USCG 6-pack Captain License. I enjoy sharing what I've learned with others who want to know more about sailing.

Ted and Dawn are great! Dawn did an amazing job with the questions and teaching. Ted is very mechanical and has a great knowledge of sailing and engines.

10 out of 10 recommend taking a sail with Ted. Whether its for your SLC practical or a Sunday sail. He was professional, courteous, and a joy to sail with. I learned some things, was pushed on some things, and enjoyed the day. Ted was incredibly knowledgeable about both sailing and bareboating. Would recommended Ted to anyone needing sailing lessons/testing/bareboat, etc.

Ted is a singular example of professional and competent examiner as well as a joy to sail with. I am by most measures an experienced skipper, having owned & raced keel boats for nearly two decades and hold a US patent celestial navigation. One reason we sail is that there is always more to learn. Another reason to sail is the people we learn from. Sail with Ted if you can. Pass the word.

It was a wonderful opportunity to sail with Ted Lewis and to have him as an examiner for my Practical Competency Test for Bareboat Charter Master. He is not just a good sailor, but a great instructor. He is meticulous in what was required of me and the sail was done in the most profession manner. In addition to a positive exam experience, it was a great opportunity to get his insights into sailing the Mediterranean Sea. I would highly recommend him as instructor and a sailor.
