Dear Jill,

Thank you.

The prep week was quite a crush knowledge recovery and learning time for me. Thanks to some sailing we have done the whole process was pleasant and rewarding.
The yacht was a pleasure to sail, facility were very good, the food was excellent, the group of people we made was enjoyable to be with, so in general it was very nice experience.

I would like to express my thanks to Alex for his commitment to get us prepared to the exam and get the best of each of us. It was then and it is now very much appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I would like to thank you ladies too for all arrangements made to assist us in going through the process smoothly.

Unfortunately I did not take and have any pictures to share. Possibly it will be a good idea to appoint a photographer on the next courses so the school and candidates have some pictures to look t and keep.

Kind regards,

Richard

Hi Jill,

Just a few words to express my gratefulness to your team for the
Training that ended today.
A special note to Melvin for his support and comprehensiveness in
finding quick way to make me familiar with the English sailing terms. It
was a hard week of work but deserved my time.
Thank you all.

Dear Alec & Diana

Just a quick note to say Thank You again.

I’m back in Italy, working on Aschanti IV.

I can’t wait to get sailing again and try out all the new things that I have learned.

Thanks for all your patience & great advise. It was great to learn from Alec. I feel that I have a great base to work from now and will grow to be a responsible, conscientious sailor following your expert instructions.

I had a really good time aboard and I’m really glad that I choose your school to sail with.

Best regards
Thea

Dear Alex,

I hope all is well.

Please forgive the directness, but I wanted to share with you, that you have been the best sailing teacher I have ever had and I appreciate the time we spent together.

Alex, thanks again for sharing your sailing experience with me.

Kind regards,
Alex.

I feel comfortable sailing alone after completing the Day Skipper Course. I had a great time during sailing and learning new things.
Thanks Alex

The 34'South Day Skipper Courses is lots of fun and most excellent to go on - fun and exciting while learning at the same time. If I had the chance I would do it all again!
Thanks so much Alex and everyone for an unforgettable time.

I want to thank the team at Yachtmaster Ocean Sailing School for the RYA courses I was able to complete at your facilities in the last two weeks. Not only did I learn a great deal of sailing but I also had a very pleasant first visit to South Africa. Your care and support was a big part of that. I especially want to thank Alex Cousins for his instruction and hospitality on board 34 South and for sharing with us his vast knowledge of the seas.

Dear Alex and Diana,

Many thanks for making the past week a very special one for me. I really appreciate the dedication, care, and hard work you put into your courses and operation...from the food, to the boat, to the materials provided, to Alex's patience and wonderful nature, and more !

I will happily refer anyone to your courses with the knowledge that they will be in the most friendly and capable hands!

All the best
