Sydney Harbour Bareboat Course - Designed at turning the relative novice into an able sailor.

"What a great day

From the friendly welcome by Felicity to the the skippers Shannon and Hugh who were instructive and informative. Both took an approach that suited our needs. Shannon
new that we were going to the Whitsundays so everything reflected that aim.

It was excellent and the 20 knot winds added to the excitment.

Please pass on my thanks to both skippers and to your staff for the well prepared boats.

See you next time I have a crew to take out.

Thanks for organising everything and for letting me tag along.

Take care

Trevor Rowling"
