Practical Competence of Bareboat Charter Master Rank
Grant has been excellent to work with over the last 3 years. The curriculum was outstanding and is far more complex than the IPC that I took thru US Sailing

Practical Competence of Bareboat Charter Master Rank
This was an incredible experience! This was not only an evaluation of my level of knowledge and sailing skills, but it was also an incredible teaching opportunity I was fortunate to have. Grant is an incredible instructor and has an ability to drive a concept or lesson home by making it poignant. He does not just repeat a fact, but teaches in a way that makes it easy to internalize the information. I also appreciated Bruce Schwaegel of Landfall Sailing who crewed. Bruce is also extremely knowledgable and an awesome instructor.

Well there is not much to say after looking at the ratings! Grant did an excellent job of coaching, teaching and furthering my knowledge of sailing and especially in maneuvering under power in 20+knots of wind.
