My son and I did 2 days of sailing lessons (ASA 101). We had zero experience. LOTS of material! Book was excellent! No wind on the first day so all the on-water training had to be completed on second day. Instructor VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE and passionate about us doing well!

Great instructor; let us make mistakes and then some analysis. Emphasized safety and related procedures. Projected confidence and leadership without being overbearing. COB practice was very useful for focus and boat control. Would recommend.
