"Tony, thank you! In 4 days I have learned so much more than I thought possible for me to learn. You leadership, genuine compassion and your humor have made this training remarkable for me. Under your guidance, I was able to learn to navigate safely, with confidence and being able to assume command. I recommend your school to anyone that has a desire to learn with integrity and rigor the ins and outs of sailing. I can't wait for my next training with you! You are truly a master!"

"Recently I took the CYA Basic Cruising Course
through the Ynot Sailing School.
I found the course to be very well run. Tony gave clear,
concise instructions and showed extreme patience with someone
who has been sailing for 35 years and thought he knew it all.
I learned a lot. Safe practices, as well as overall safety
concerns, are stressed. I strongly recommend this course
to all, even to the “expert” who has never had any formal training.
Job well done Tony"

supervisor of teachers I was impressed by Tony's knowledge,
infectious enthusiasm and communication skills".

"Tony has to rank in the top
three as one of the best facilitators I have met throughout
my 22-year career. He is perhaps one of the best communicators
I have ever had the opportunity and pleasure to listen to, and
interact with as a facilitator I would recommend any course
taught by him simply because it was taught by him".

"I must say that I tremendously
enjoyed the sailing course.
I knew I would like the sailing aspect, but your excellent teaching
skills made the experience all the more pleasurable".

"Since I took a Basic Cruising
course with you and started sailing my own boat I have been
living a dream. A new adventure in my life has begun. The challenge
of operating a 26 foot sailboat seems to be easier than I thought
it would be thanks to the experience and knowledge gained during
the course."

"I'm just back from a two
week sailing trip in Honduras on my friends Santana 37. It was
fantastic! Everything you taught us fell right into place. The
valuable sailing and communication skills that we acquired from
you were noticed and appreciated by all aboard".
David Godin

"We are very happy we did the course.
What we learned from you will be for sure the foundation of
many years of safe and pleasant sailing. We have already started
to put this knowledge into practice on our sailboat. This was
our best investment in sailing so far! Thanks Tony".
