					  We are a group of five women who wanted to learn the basics of yachting on our own boat (Hanse 40) based in Fremantle. Gary was efficient and professional with... read more all aspects of the course, including the administration. We had perfect sunny weather and breezes for the two day course and so we were able to learn about and experience the yacht in all its glory - such as the "points of sail", man overboard routine, sailing terminology and, very importantly, working as a crew when leaving and entering the mooring. Gary was super patient and answered our many questions with grace and enthusiasm. We were all delighted with the course and, of course, receiving our certificates at the end. We would recommend Oceanwest Charters to anyone wanting to start from new, or going onto the more complex stages of yachting as some of us no doubt will in the future. Thank you Gary, Nick and Joanne.
