Thank you again for talking us through all that sailing, working at our skills and letting us take part in your life-long experience! I will keep those days in best memory!


Just a quick message to say thanks again for the Learn to Sail course. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and feel I learned loads – although there’s still quite a bit to go, I know! The “river of wind” makes it much easier to understand, so keep going with that! Needless to say, I’m now keen to get back out onto the water.

We returned safely to Canada, and Gerda and I are recuperating from the long flight home. We both want to thank you and Sheryl for the fantastic Sunday day sail we had with you both. It will be remembered for a long time especially the after sail drink at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. Wishing you success with your sailing business and thanks again.


Thank you so much for an extremely enjoyable and useful three days last week. We honestly don’t believe we could have had a better introduction into sailing and it has certainly kindled our desire to persue this “art”. You obviously have a passion for sailing which came across and was very inspirational – having a passion for sailing is one thing, being able to communicate it and teach it as effectively as you did is quite another! Many thanks again, and best wishes to you and Sheryl.


Gulfwind is here to give you, your family and friends the skills and confidence to enjoy being on the water.
