Level V Skipper Rank Qualified Sailing Instructor / Assessor

Rated 4.98/5 by 33 students
I started out sailing at 16 years old by buying a home built 12' sloop. Over the years have owned 6 boats and sailed OPB (other peoples boats) for many years. Some highlights are sailing from Hawaii to Dana Point on a 54' Morgan center cockpit (three weeks at sea), racing from Newport to Ensenada (4 times), and crewing on two historic schooners, Kelpie and Curlew. Both built in the 1920's and 82' long. I love to share sailing with people and have done teaching at Aventura Sailing Assoc. I am known for my patience and calm demeanor onboard. Sailing is in my blood and teaching is my pleasure.

I definitely need more practice and I'm taking the next course, but overall I feel like I learned a ton and got some really great foundations!

Roger has a wonderful and patient demeanor. Being a newbie, the amount of information can be a bit overwhelming, but his ability to use anecdotes to impart his knowledge, made it fun to learn and easier to understand. All around a great experience and would highly recommend learning from him.

I want to continue to practice all that I learned, which is why I'm back for more. Roger is an excellent teacher and gives his students confidence in understanding what and why we are executing particular maneuvers.
