"Although it was a terrifying experience to try for the first time, it was most definitely one of the most pleasurable activities I have done this term."
 
"I would like to thank you for getting our boats into the deep sea and teaching us how to use the winds to push our boats faster."
 
"I must admit I was a bit scared because I thought that falling overboard was going to hurt a lot and I could drown, but I was reassured by your life jackets."
 
"I won't forget the breeze on my face and the icy cold of the water and the fact that I gave it a go and I feel like my confidence to take on challenges has definitely increased."
 
"I've never experienced sailing ever in my life.  This indeed is an event and opportunity to remember forever.  One year I might even take up sailing as a sport or for fun.  I think that each one of us has been inspired by the experience and that one day we may become proffessional sailors."
