“Thank you for letting us come to do sailing. It was a really good experience and it was really really fun. Sailing is really good for concentrating. I learned that the steerer has to move their arms a lot if there are lots of corners.”
“Thank you for teaching us to do sailing. It was really fun. The thing I like was steering with the rudder. I can’t wait to go sailing with my family.”
“It was great when we got into the boat. We all had a marvellous time.”
“Thank you for letting us go sailing in your boats. We all had lots of fun and we were proud to sail around the harbour.”
