“Thank you Darren for a wonderful afternoon. It was lovely to have my first taste of sailing on your beautiful boat. Though a bit anxious at first I enjoyed every minute of it from the first moment – learning about winds, sails, ropes, to steering by myself. An altogether perfect experience! PS. I never expected a boat to be so clean and tidy.” - Linda, Victoria
