"leaves me a lot more confident of being able to sail a yacht as skipper"
I had an excellent week, both with regards to sailing / the course, but also with regards to enjoying my holidays. Karen is a very good instructor and I feel I really learnt a lot this week.

All in all, a good qualitative course, excellent instructor and great holidays. Thanks very much. Janneke Wolken September 2007.
