Voyage Makers

Marla, I wanted to say thank you again for a great extended weekend aboard Water Dragon.... Your knowledge & experience is amazing.  I wanted to highlight a couple things I really appreciated:

- Your energy & excitement for sailing is absolutely contagious

- You created a very collaborative & fun environment

- I really appreciated how you **always** had positive comments when people were learning something new

- Your relate what you were instructing to real life experiences

- You recognized & adapted to different learning styles and paces.

- In everything thing we did, you built up our confidence in our abilities & knowledge

- You kept it all very progressive in what we were learning & low stress/anxiety.

 Sailing with Tracy is a learning experience, action-packed vacation & relaxing respite - all in one. I took an advanced navigation course with her in the Gulf Islands along with three other beginning students. I learned so much; she tailored her lessons to everyone's skill set. She is a patient teacher that makes sure her students understand what they learn through course review and hands on, learn by doing experience. I felt very comfortable the whole week, as did my shipmates, even as she challenged us. Losing our dinghy while cruising the east end of Saltspring Island made for a real-life rescue, and Tracy led us through the process gracefully! At each day's end we chatted, enjoyed the chilly sunsets, and pitched in to make dinners. I hope to return to BC for one of her adventures in 2025. Highly recommend. 

 I did a 5 day beginner sailing course with Tracy and it was the most amazing experience on the water! I was not in the best place mentally so it was taking me a really long time to grasp some of the sailing lingo and concepts - Tracy explained every detail so incredibly well and she is one of the most patient, kind and understanding teachers I have ever had. I loved being on the water before but she really ignited my passion for the art of sailing! I can confidently say I am a competent crew member and can’t get enough of sailing whenever I can! I can’t wait to take another course with her! Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend Ms. Tracy Sarich & Voyage Makers for sailing instruction. Tracy has an innate ability to communicate complex sailing concepts clearly. Her teaching methodology is practical and tailored to her student's needs, ensuring each learner receives the attention and guidance necessary to excel. Tracy's unwavering dedication to her students' success and exemplary character truly set her apart. She approaches her work with contagious enthusiasm and passion, inspiring those around her to strive for excellence. Tracy's patience, empathy, and genuine concern for her students' well-being create a supportive learning environment where individuals feel encouraged to push beyond their limits and achieve their goals!
