The Learn to Sail women’s programme is absolutely excellent! The instructors are super experienced and very engaging; they tailored the material well to a group of adults. They made the programme so much fun! By the end of the course I felt confident sailing solo and as part of a team! I highly recommend the Learn to Sail programme! ~ ZoĆ«
I would highly recommend the Learn to Sail course to any woman (or anyone) who is interested! The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They made the course fun and challenged us each day in a way that felt manageable. The other women in the course were so helpful, everyone was willing to help one another which made for a very enjoyable course atmosphere! I learned more than I expected and can’t wait to get back in a boat to apply what I learned. ~ Dana
I can’t say enough good things about the SWWSL Learn to Sail Program. It was the highlight of my summer! The instructors were incredible and it was amazing to jump in a boat, take the helm and sail away, independently! The “all female” setting was the perfect environment for me to learn. There were no egos, no intimidation, no take-overs, just the perfect opportunity for learning and collaboration. ~ 2021 SWWSL LTS Participant
