I am a one boat, one instructor school, in Nanaimo. BC. I can accommodate 2 students on Cruise and Learns and up to 4 in Day Courses.

I usually cruise in the southern Gulf Islands but can go to Desolation Sound or the Sunshine Coast by arrangement.

Here is one recent student’s experience:

“After six days onboard with Eric, we left with exactly what anyone hopes for from a sailing course: genuine confidence. His instruction was thorough, practical, and incredibly well-paced, leaving us ready to handle coastal sailing in real conditions. What stood out most was his approach to questions:  no matter how basic, every question was welcomed and answered thoughtfully. That kind of environment makes all the difference when you’re learning. His background in teaching clearly shows, and he has a natural patience and ability to break down complex concepts that you don’t always find on the water. I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone serious about learning to sail properly.”      -Andrew G. (2024)
