I have to write to say thank you very much for my 2 grandchildren in passing their RYA-2 course last week. Although they were a little apprehensive to start with, your 2 instructors Maddie & Chad were excellent and soon had them participating and learning in such a caring and proficient way. I am most impressed that for the 2nd year the quality of your staff is impressive.
