American Sailing's Outstanding Instructors
This award honors the top 1% percent of all active status ASA Instructors as determined by surveys that are submitted by their students. The process by which the Outstanding Instructors are determined is algorithmic, derived by the number of surveys sent to students, the number of surveys completed and submitted by students, and the Instructor's average rating across all submitted surveys.
The outstanding instructors for a given calendar year are announced in April of the following year - so last year's outstanding instructors will be announced in April 2024.
