Capt. Mac's School of Seamanship

I spent last week with Capt. Mac doing the Basic Cruising Standard. Great instruction and cool boat. Capt. Mac knows his stuff. I'm looking forward to doing my Navigation Course with him in the near future.

My wife and I did basic cruise and learn. The morning study classes were very informative, the hands on learning was very experience building. We would recommend glen to anyone who wants to learn to sail. Within 2 months of doing glens course we bought our own sailboat and sailed the Georgia strait alone. A very good experience and just what we were looking for.

A+ If you're looking to learn from an individual that is in the business for all the right reasons - look no further! Capt. Mac has true love for sailing, the sea, his boat and enormous valuable experience. Attended the 5 days basic sailing standards March 2018. I'm very happy with my choice of instructor and the knowledge acquired. Thank you!

Experience was great and really enjoyed the company. I have been sailing my own boat for 15 years and bought a boat about the same size as Captain Macs (Glen). I took the basic 5 day course (March Hardy one) as I wanted some pointers on sailing a boat of that size. I acquired that experience and a lot more. Course plotting, fixes, navigation aids and their importance all in real time. The safety aspect of knowing all this stuff was brought home much better than learning it in a classroom. He took us to places where we had to know/learn the navigation aids, course plotting, etc, that or run aground. Of course he wouldn't let us do that as its a pretty fine boat. A quite exciting trip all round. I recommend it.

We did our Basic Cruise Standard last year , and returned for a tune up and to practice the basic skills again . It was an amazing week , a little more relaxed knowing we weren't going to be writing an exam this time but an outstanding learning experience again . We lucked out with the weather and wind this time , food was fantastic again . I was able participate in some basic boat maintenance this time. All part of learning what is going to be involved in eventually owning our own sailboat. Dabbled in basic navigation as well. We'll be back for more of the follow up courses. Thanks again Captain Mac !
