Level V Captain Rank Chief Sailing Instructor / Assessor

Rated 4.95/5 by 11 students
I was introduced to dinghy sailing by a retired neighbor when I was 7 years old. I was so hooked that I had my own boat by the time I was 10 and haven't been without one since. I've owned many cruising and racing yachts, powerboats/ cruisers, raced and cruised and sailed tall ships, raced many yachts locally and across oceans. There are so many different ways to enjoy boating and I enjoy taking part in as many as I can. I started and now run Kirkland Sailing Club where I get the pleasure of teaching many newcomers to sailing each year and have built an entirely new network of friends as a result. I hold a number of maritime qualifications including USCG Captain, RYA Yachtmaster and US SAILING instructor.

Julian was friendly and professional! From the start with scheduling our practical test, he was kind and helpful. He tailored our practical exam to reflect our upcoming charter (Med mooring, differences IALA-A vs. B). He was thorough and followed the expected rubrics. We appreciated his expertise and the tips he gave along the way. A very challenging yet positive experience!

I met with Julian twice, the first was intended to be an SLC assesment, but clearly I wasn't prepared for the testing. Julian was the epitome of professionalism and was kind and helpful and declared the day a prep day. (We didn't go out on the water). The second meeting went musch better. After evaluating each phase of the rubric, Julian time passing on some unknown and not covered pieces of information. While I haven't taken any formal classes with him, these conversations convinced me his knowledge and methodolgy make him an excellent teacher.

Julian is very knowledge, flexible, and someone I'd enjoy sailing with socially. I learned several valuable things I didn't know before the assessment that were peripheral to my chartering plans.

Julian's sailing knowledge and instruction/coaching style is outstanding. I learn every time I'm with him out in the water. Also super fun, making it a truly enjoyable experience. I have learned so much from Julian and everyone at the Kirkland Sailing Club. So good to be able to enjoy a day out on the water with confidence! Highly recommend.
