Raved About By Mindi C. . . .
"We’ve sailed for several years now and can always find plenty of information on sail trim and hull types, but for information just about “boat life” in general, this is an invaluable wealth of knowledge! Practical, straightforward, and written in a way that is easy to digest, the courses have taken me step by step through my mental house to make sure I’ve covered our bases for this trip and what I hope are more to come. So grateful for this resource!!!"

This is a fantastic resource for beginners and seasoned folks alike. The content is exceptionally well-laid out and informative. The resources are worth the price just by themselves. I feel like this was an great purchase!
We’ve sailed for several years now and can always find plenty of information on sail trim and hull types, but for information just about “boat life” in general, this is an invaluable wealth of knowledge! All of the information we need to plan our first 6 month sabbatical aboard can be found here…and since we’ve been planning this for a while, I didn’t expect to find so much that was new to me! Practical, straightforward, and written in a way that is easy to digest, the courses have taken me step by step through my mental house to make sure I’ve covered our bases for this trip and what I hope are more to come. So grateful for this resource!!!
The all access pass is fabulous. I love how I can jump around from subject to subject -- reinforcing what I already know (definite confidence booster), learning lots of new stuff and filing some info away for use at a later time. I really like how if something doesn't apply to my current situation, I can move past it and get to what it is I really need to know. It's super organized, clear and concise info. I would definitely buy again and recommend this purchase.
