2019 Introductory Course

For a day with absolutely no wind to be found on the water, it was still a very positive learning experience and I reached my goal for the one day course (to decide whether I wanted to pursue further sailing instruction). I certainly learned enough to know that I would like to continue to sailing with future classes. Captain Frank Mummert was wonderful. Even with no wind, he managed to give us a full day’s worth of valuable instruction and hands on experience. His narrative was extremely informative and very entertaining. I really appreciated his both willingness to share personal experiences related to sailing and his overall teaching philosophy. His love for sailing was very apparent, and he is a great ambassador for your school. Rita was great in providing information, answering questions, and helping me schedule this course. Communication pre-course was highly professional and thorough but also quite friendly. The Scholarship was great overall and I was very happy to have had the opportunity to spend the night aboard. It helped me decide that I do want to pursue further sailing coursework. I initially chose the school because of the location and convenience. I liked the one day course option. After experiencing this class I now realize how much I like your school's philosophy and dedication to providing students with instruction intensive enough to assure that they are well trained and competent in boat handling. I plan to start with the 101 course next spring or summer and may well keep going from there.
