I just returned from a week of sailing in Croatia with Oran of Oran Teach. What an incredible week it was! This was my third time booking a trip in which I was to learn sailing while staying on a boat for a week. I learned more in the first four hours with Oran (docking the 46' monohull several times in the marina) than I did on my previous two trips combined. As a sailing novice I have much to learn. But Oran's course has given me so much confidence because he does not just explain things, he lets you experience it. As someone who does better with learning by doing, this was exactly what I needed. His Man Overboard drills force you to use every sailing/boating skill in your toolbox and really give you an opportunity to think. His course is designed to teach you how to think about sailing, not just what to do. Oran clearly loves what he does and his passion shows through in every aspect of the course. He never lost patience with me or anyone for that matter, even though I often had to ask him to explain/illustrate the same things more than once in order to "get it." My fellow crew were a pleasure to work and live with side-by-side for the week. Each one of us came from a different country, with different levels of experience. Me being the greenest, they too helped me learn and I truly enjoyed the camaraderie while learning alongside them. I hope to see them all again in the future when Oran invites us back for a reunion flotilla of sorts. This course will provide something for everyone, whether you know nothing or have been sailing for years, you will benefit. I highly recommend learning with Oran. Best vacation ever!
