"Thanks for the very personalized and through sailing instruction. I feel much more confident with my MacGregor, which turned out to handle pretty nicely...After you left, I found a whisker pole down below. Now I know what to do with it.

Advanced beginner: "I really enjoyed myself. Working through some things today gave me more confidence in my skills. I will need to practice docking more, but it was nice to see how it is supposed to be done. With a bit of practice I now know that I can get more graceful launching and docking." Skip C. Eldersburg, MD
"Thanks again for the great lessons. Your teaching methods made it easy and fun to learn the art of sailing. It was as if we were all friends out on the boat instead of teacher with students. Your sailing school has inspired me to continue on to take classes so I can charter a boat for overnight." Cheryl P. Newark, DE
"We both had a great time and learned a lot about sailing. We are going to do some more practice next month." Pankaj G. Clarksburg, MD

“Walt, thanks for teaching my husband and me to sail. It was one of the best and most enjoyable, comprehensive and memorable learning experiences I've ever had. The "bottom line" is we had a great time and learned a lot at the same time. You are an A#1 instructor. Again, thanks.” Dr. Camille B. Great Falls, VA (P.S. It's true....you really are a gifted instructor.)
“Dear Walt, I very much appreciate your helping me to get the essence of sailing. The fact that I passed the basic sailing course despite my almost drowning you, speaks to your belief in human potential. It just goes to show you that the Chef is the most important person onboard.” Aare K., Chef Falls Church, VA
“Walt, you possess the hallmarks of a great teacher: a deep subject matter expertise gained over a lifetime of sailing, an engaging personality and good-natured temperament. My sailing course experience was as pleasant as it was productive.” Jeff D. Bethesda, MD
"Walt, we had an enjoyable weekend learning a new skill (and the new language of sailing) in a non-stressful environment. You were a very patient teacher and we were amazed at the end of the second day when we were able to sail the boat with you just watching. It was a lot of fun. Thanks." Jim & Marilyn W. Pulaski, VA
