What Are Sailors Saying?
Kurt is an exceptional sailing coach and a three-time former US Sailing Team member! We were recommended to Kurt by ASA, the US Sailing youth program, and other coaches, all of whom said that Kurt is outstanding…
The experience was truly amazing for my 13-year-old daughter! She thrived and grew tremendously during her time in Clearwater. Kurt guided her step by step, helping her build a deeper understanding and a solid foundation in sailing.
Kurt is an incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate coach. I had never been to a clinic of any kind before, and I was blown away by how much I learned, both in the classroom and on the water, in a mere three days. One reason he is a master coach is that he is a superb communicator, clarifying concepts with one sentence where I hadn’t understood those same concepts even after reading multiple paragraphs in sailing books. I can’t wait to come back next year, and beyond!
My two-day practice session with Kurt was extremely beneficial. My goal was to improve my downwind sailing sunfish technique. I learned Kurt’s SailFit version of Dynamic Sailing with knees up and my core engaged. Thanks to Kurt’s on the water coaching followed by his video debrief, I definitely learned the downwind technique and it is fast! I highly recommend Coach Kurt for anyone wanting to improve their single-handed sailing skills. I look forward to more practice sessions with Coach Kurt this fall.
