"The
class was terrific. I know you must get many complements 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." - John Boynton
"I
would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling
and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very
accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared
his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas.
I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered
waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size
was certainly enhanced by the experience." - John
Kratochvil, Oregon
"Every
aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials,
quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the
very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations.
Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment
with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming
back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing
training." - John Clark
"All
of the courses and my instructors (Suzette, JT and Stan) were
extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience.
I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond
the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities
to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone."
- Mike, Santa Rosa, California
"I
would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is
interested in learning to sail the right way." - Steve
Hood, Basic Coastal Cruising
"In a word
- excellent. Suzette has a good sense of just how much guidance
to give her students. She creates a very positive atmosphere
both on and off the boat. I certainly would choose her as
an instructor in the future, and will request her if my wife
takes the BKB course." - Peter Ackley
"Very good
- John [Connolly] is very knowledgeable and does an excellent
job conveying his knowledge in a positive, friendly and supportive
manner. I learned more about blue water sailing in 6 days
[in the Heavy Weather Offshore Course] than in 12 days on
the Alaska Eagle." - Steve Rathfon
"I had a lot
of fun in this class. Roy did a great job teaching us!"
- Kimberly Heathorn
"After spending
a weekend with JT, it's easy to see why he was twice named
instructor of the year. His laid back, but informative style
puts all at ease. He ties together concepts and instruction
with interesting stories of his sailing past. I would highly
recommend him." - Dennis Libby, Bareboat Chartering
"In a nutshell
- outstanding. I was very pleased with the training program,
materials, awesome boats (very clean and well organized).
The Modern Sailing team is top notch. Mollie, Jack, JT and
the rest of the team - thank you!" - Sergio Gonzales

"The meeting
room was quite adequate and the location most convenient,
but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern
Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor
in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional
background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently
in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding
various aspects of the curriculum."- John Kipping

a very positive impression of Modern Sailing." - Lawrence
Kerver, Cruising Catamaran Course
