Everything for our 101 class was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. This was actually the second time I took ASA 101. I took it again because of the longer class time (4 days vs previous 2), and the reputation of Maryland School of Sailing & Seamanship after I did additional investigation into opportunities.  Captain Robin Bauer was GREAT! She was informative, responsive to individual skill levels and needs, personally engaging and she actually made it fun!  I’d very highly recommend her to anyone considering a class that Captain Robin is teaching.

Almost all pre class and post class communication and interaction was with Rita Hanson. Rita is fantastic! Very helpful and patient explaining every single aspect of the training. I ask a LOT of questions. Rita was extremely thorough in ensuring every question I had was satisfactorily answered. The beat goes on. I'm currently considering 3-4 other classes with MSSS and Rita is helping me navigate that future training.

I looked at all schools in the Upper Bay area. I liked the fact your classes are longer, very well explained on your website and the range of offerings, including times offered, was very well organized. Also you train on larger boats than most schools. I love Island Packets! The boats were very well maintained, very clean, and a joy to sail. I currently own a Catalina 30 but aspire to an Island Packat 32+ just like the school uses in all on water training. I watched most of Tom's videos on YouTube as well and they were great and definitely played into my ultimate decision.
