I just wanted to tell you and all the folks at the School that I have just had
one of the best times of my life sailing with Captain Jochen and First Mate
Steve.
Beginning with the day of arrival, it was fun, educational and busy and
continued until the day of arrival in Norfolk. Captain Jochen was professional
in all aspects of the sail and his instruction coupled with practical exercise
was second to none. In addition to his Captain duties, he was personable and
friendly, kind and considerate and had the patience of Job. He is a friend as
well as a mentor. I can’t say enough about him.
Captain Steve is another positive asset to the school’s staff. His work with
each of the students in a one on one environment as well as in a group setting
is excellent. He gave us a weather class that was exceptionally easy to
understand and put to use. I learned more from him about sail trim in the days
at sea than I had in 5 years of sailing.
This was by far an experience that was fun and educational whether or not you
plan to cruise or just do coastal sailing. I would encourage anyone interested
in sailing to please consider the Maryland School of Sailing and their
professional staff. It is definitely “ A Serious School for Serious Sailors”
