"I must say these courses and the whole website is just so full of important information. I've truly enjoyed exploring the lessons and learning all that I can before we buy a boat."
New to this website and I am so impressed that for free you provide all this informative and educational materials. Thank you for your time, experience and generosity. I am so very grateful as I am a novice sailor who is now retired at 62 years young lol. I am working on taking my years of experience to another level as I am about to purchase my first sailboat within the next year. I live in S. Florida now (native of Boston MA), my experience has included bareboat charters in the Caribbean,and around Cape Cod and Newport RI. a few deliveries from Boston to S. Florida, Bermuda and Bahamas. I will continue to look forward to your newsletters and valuable experience and advice. If there’s anything I can do for you it would be my pleasure.
So grateful,
Thomas G. Of Palm Beach county Florida.

As someone who hasn't sailed yet but dreams of doing so, I must say these courses and the whole website is just so full of important information. I've truly enjoyed exploring the lessons and learning all that I can before we buy a boat.
