    Everything is excellent, organization, practical development, instructor, but the practice, out of necessity, would have been better with a boat instead of a sailboat.

    Monica

    I have a very positive opinion about the school, since both the organization and the treatment, I loved it. The teacher who taught us the classes was very nice and explained very well.
    It is true that unlike the practical part, which is super dynamic, the theoretical part is not so much, especially if you do it after practice. Even so, the theoretical part also had its share of dynamism!
