TESTIMONIES: "I've had the opportunity to watch Lauren teach in the classroom before spending an afternoon on the water working with her students. Beyond being a superb sailor, she's an excellent teacher. Lauren is a great choice for anyone wanting to start out sailing or improve their skills. Of all the people I've taught with, I would choose her to help me improve my own sailing." AM.
"I was so impressed by Lauren's knowledge and teaching style at the recent Women's Sailing Seminar, that I hired her to coach me on my 40 ft. keelboat. She helped us with boat maneuvering, docking, emergency response scenarios, provisioning, and logistics. She also shared her extensive knowledge of SF Bay navigational issues, weather and currents, and left us with a wealth of resources to continue our own education. I would highly recommend coach Captain Lauren." Jacquie F.
"Lauren brought me back into sailing with training on a Cal 20 at the HMBYC. Her style and approach both in classroom and on the water is superb, and very adaptable to the student's knowledge and skill level. Thanks to her training I now regularly enjoy sailing cruisers on the Bay. I highly recommend her to both beginners and experienced sailors." Stu S.
"I've sailed and raced with Lauren on the San Francisco Bay many times. I've also watched her work with sailors and racers on the water. She is cool headed, knowledgeable, and safe - and has a knack for presenting information in ways that make it easy for people to pick up. I whole heartedly recommend Lauren as a sailing instructor, yacht owner coach, charter captain, and delivery captain." Spencer N.
