I’ve taken both the adult beginner and intermediate Learn to Sail courses with Allison, and she is truly the best! Her instruction was clear, patient, and incredibly encouraging. I went from never having stepped foot on a sailboat to confidently sailing on my own in just three days. I can’t wait to put my new skills and my membership to good use out on the Bay.
