The Good: Instructor was Les who is a seasoned sailor. He taught some more useful tips like how to be hove to / heave to in case of MOB. Rather than professional sailor figure 8 tacks and jibes that are way too complicated for new sailors. Also, just turn on your motor and go get them! This course is a fun, more expensive, way to get your Pleasure Craft Operator Card. Otherwise just get it online for $50.

The Bad: Otherwise super basic course on rinky dink boats. I described my skill level and goals to the person booking and asked which course I should take. They suggested the fun-damentals type crew beginner course. I should have been more patient for an opening at a more serious sailing school.
