“Paul Exner is hands down the best coach / teacher I've ever met. We had a week long expedition together sailing the beautiful waters off Kona. He teaches fundamentals, empowering us to make decisions ourselves, he changed how we think about everything from setting up the boat, organizing lines, what 'readiness' really means, sail trim, helming, navigation. His methods are really that - methods - teachable, repeatable and reliable. Navigation fundamentals meant we could navigate to random points in the ocean with confidence, using compass, pencil, paper and a fix.

Beyond his technical teaching, Paul is a genuinely kind human being, positive, encouraging at all times, but also pushing us to do more. He has advanced us more in a week than we could have achieved in years.”
