"Solstice Sailing made my hair grow back!" and other amazing testimonials

I used to be a big loser but now look at me. I'm a super hero. Thanks Solstice Sailing!

Solstice No, Eric thank you! You're an inspiration to all sailors who feel they need to wear spandex. When Eric first came to us for sailing lessons he was in rough shape: he was dating a nice girl but nothing serious and had a good job but never made it out from behind a desk. After a few basic lessons he bought a cape and the rest is history. Now he's happily married with 8 kids (in 10 months) and well, he still never leaves his desk but darn it all, don't crush the man's dream!
