What Our Sailors Say

Darrel

I learned more in a few weeks of the instructor clinics series than over 20 years of sailing as a race boat owner and active sailor. The clinics helped to fill in the blank spots I didn't know I had.

What Charter's new to Afterguard Say

Dan

Very nice boat. Very well equipped. Brand new main sail. We sailed as a bare boat. Mary was very accomodating. Anni gave us good instructions on all the operations of the boat. I have sailed many times in SF and knew the area well. The boat performed as expected in the bay.
