    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.

    The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.
