“Once you have spent time under sail, you will notice that people on sailboats tend to wave at each other. For many, sailing is a passion to be enjoyed for a lifetime. Ours is a sport that brings people together. A larger reward is often the places you go and the people you meet. To maximize your enjoyment on the water, you must have confidence in yourself, your boat, equipment and crew.” – Gary Jobson
