"Before taking the basic sailing course I didn't know the difference between a beat or a batten, a jib or jibe and I couldn't tell you what I thought a broad reach was, but after taking the course I am no longer intimidated by sailing. I have gained the confidence required to sail, I have a thorough understanding of the vocabulary and the workings of a sailboat, as well as the navigational rules of the water. Capt. Virgil made the learning fun and stress free just as sailing should be."
