Just finished our ASA 101 keelboat Class at the International Sailing School in Colchester, VT. I cannot say enough good things about this school and our instructor, Errrol!! We had a terrible sailing lesson experience last year, so I was very nervous, and Errol was very patient and very funny with me!
From his classroom instruction to the on-boat teaching, he was a great teacher. Robin, who owns the school, was very professional and the whole operation was top- notch! We ended up having a bit of wind - we had gusts of up to 18 knots or so! We learned to reef, come about, jibe, rescue man overboard and many other techniques. We sailed on a Soling and then the end of the second day on a 26 foot S2.
We have already planned our next certification class. We are now looking to crew some races or day trips for experience. They definitely created two new sailors!
