“I’ve been learning to sail for 5 years taking various classes and racing on J-105 sailboats. However, I learned more from my experience on Paul Exner's 10-day Expert-Level Sailing Expedition than all the other sailing courses and experiences put together!

Paul covered such a wide range of topics at such expert depth, from weather forecasting, to race tactics, reading sea state, helming techniques, boat systems, renewable energy systems on boats, you name it! In fact I particularly appreciated the details and demonstrations around boat design and boat systems which we learnt about in great details as Paul built the SV Solstice himself.

I thoroughly recommend Paul Exner and Modern Geographic Sailing to everyone who is serious about developing their sailing skills. My sailing friends already know because I regularly remind them of how powerful and accelerating the learning experience was for me, and that I intend to do it again as soon as I can!”
