Sleek as ALLONS-Y
is, it is not the boat; not the gorgeous waters; or that
adventure that comes in hand, but that comfortable and
confident attitude that comes with the skills you impart.
Damn, that was fun. You will certainly see me again for the
Bareboat Chartering and Advanced Coastal Cruising

"It was great fun for all of us to have experienced sailing
on ALLONS-Y. Although the sailing component was a great
learning experience, we also learned a lot from our
conversations with you. You provided a fascinating window
into the world of sailing, business and life in general
which greatly enhanced the experience for us. Thanks again
for being a great host."

" I received your package today at our
hotel. The gift certificate for the wedding looks great and
the sailing caps are an extra nice touch. I'm sure Tukiko
and Linus are going to like it and be excited to "cast- off
" on their English Bay sail. Thanks again for all your
effort getting it to me on time."
Julie Harte, Toronto
.....what a great week we had on
ALLON-Y in the Gulf Islands! Having raced against
the 36.7's in the Chicago Mac races I've always admired the
look and the speed of Farr's design. After our charter
I now know how nice the boat performs with just the two of
us. It was great having a boat that sails well in light
winds or when it really perks up past 15 kts. Your interior
comforts were well appreciated and typical of the larger
cruising Beneteaus. Having chartered with the big guys many
times VSC's flexibility and thorough Check-out was really
appreciated and we perceived great value overall. See you
next year!

"Desolation
Sound was a dream come true for us. The whales, dolphins and
black bears were just icing on the cake. Thank you for
teaching us both how to sail, cruise and enjoy BC, We are
looking forward to sailing with you again in Antigua
next year."

patient and understanding. Thank you for a wonderful educational
experience.”

"Thank you so much for the excellent
sailing instruction during the 103 class last week. Not
only did we learn alot, but we had a great time in the process.
Sailing amongst the Gulf Islands was truly memorable. We
are looking forward to continuing our sailing education
and hope to return to the Vancouver area to sail again in
the near future. Happy Sailing. PS We're enjoying our time
in Tofino- the Roy Henry Vickers Gallery was amazing."
