"This was one of the best training experiences of my life, I had
very limited knowledge or understanding of yachting prior to
attending this course (although my husband did) and I was amazed
that at the end I had undertaken the total experience of yacht
ownership, management and operation. It has given me the confidence
to undertake cruising safely and more importantly how my husband and
I can operate as a team and communicate better together. I now feel
that we can commence the next phase of our lives, cruising the
Queensland coast, as the name suggests we now have cruisability!!!" |
