Student Evaluation:

I decided I wanted to learn how to sail over Summer Holiday. I loved seeing all the beautiful boats and the sailors and it was fascinated to learn how the wind was harnessed to move the boat.

I started taking sailing classes and I fell in love. It was so much fun! The worst thing that could happen was that you would end up in the water, which happened to me every class, many times! It was more physically challenging then I thought it would be, and learning to get the wind right was hard at first. I spent the first two weeks tacking and having the boat capsize! It was really hard at first but over the course of my classes I really improved. 

I can now sail a boat confidently and it lead me to join the Yachting team
