“Just wanted to say thanks for another great sailing experience for Haley! I think it’s important to stress to your instructors and junior instructors that they are role models for our youth. The instructors that Haley has had over the last four seasons have been fabulous! They are really doing a great job. Please be sure to let them all know how much we appreciate them. The time they are giving to our kids will always be remembered along with their sailing experiences. Thanks again!” — Jen & JB Turner, 2005 youth sailing parents
