点评:We had the pleasure of taking 2 days of family sailing lessons with Captain Shawn. I’ve owned a 41’ sailboat for eight years and was looking for someone to help my family feel more confident sailing and docking the boat. By the end of the weekend, all my family members said the experience far exceeded their expectations.
Shawn guided us through pre-departure checks like the engine and electronics, docking techniques, sailing fundamentals, boat terminology, navigation around the Bay, and we even got to use the spinnaker.
My daughter started the weekend saying she’d never feel comfortable docking the boat. But after encouragement and coaching from Shawn, she was confidently docking and departing without assistance by the end of the weekend (as well as everyone else in my family!). Without Shawn’s help, I don’t think everyone would have made as quick progress as they did. Now it is hard to pry her away from the helm.
He even took some time to teach me nuances of the boat that were new to me after years of sailing. On top of all of this, he was also really fun to spend a weekend on the Bay with. I can’t recommend him enough!

翻译:我们有幸参加了肖恩船长的为期两天的家庭航海课程。我拥有一艘41英尺长的帆船已有八年,一直在寻找一位能帮助家人更自信地驾驶和停靠船只的人。周末结束时,我的家人都表示,这次体验远远超出了他们的预期。
肖恩指导我们完成了出发前的各项检查,例如发动机和电子设备、停靠技巧、航海基础知识、船舶术语、海湾航行,我们甚至还体验了使用大三角帆。
周末开始时,我女儿还说她对停靠船只感到很不自在。但在肖恩的鼓励和指导下,到周末结束时,她已经能够自信地自行停靠和离开(我家里的其他人也都一样!)。如果没有肖恩的帮助,我想大家不可能取得如此迅速的进步。现在,要让她离开掌舵的位置真是太难了。
他甚至还花时间教我一些关于船只的细微差别,这些对于我多年航海经验的我来说都是全新的。除此之外,和他一起在海湾度过周末也非常有趣。我强烈推荐他!
