| Review: | Research pays off: GT Sailing is the Best I've personally sailed for over 35 years, having taught myself everything I know about sailing - good and bad. Fortunately I'm smart enough to know that there is much I don't know about sailing so when my 21 year old daughter, with no true sailing experience, asked me to attend the Basic Keel Boat Sailing and Basic Coastal Cruising courses with her, while vacationing near Holland Michigan, I jumped at the chance. After much research, many phone conversations, countless emails and even sending someone to review his boats in person, we signed on with GT Sailing in Holland, Michigan. Captain Kim does a phenomenal job of teaching the book material through a very real and hands-on approach that is incredibly effective. Within the first hour of our lesson, he had my daughter manuevering his 38' boat in and out of the slip as if she been doing so her entire life. By the end of the Coastal Cruising course both of our knowledge, skills and confidence levels had reached new heights. How Captain Kim can keep his patience and remain so calm I don’t know, but he does it well. Captain Kim has a knack for being able to translate the theory and text material into practical applications and the patience to make sure we fully understood it before moving on. It is obvious that he takes his responsibility seriously and while he does make the courses enjoyable, he also insures that everyone has a complete understanding of the concepts, regulations, safety concerns, and responsibilities as well as practical knowledge by having done every excercise multiple times. We intend on taking Bareboat Chartering and Coastal Navigation at our earliest opportunity and would not consider doing so with anyone other than Captain Kim at GT Sailing. |
