Practical Competence of Skipper Rank
Davis has a wealth of knowledge and experience, coupled with a very effective teaching style. I've had the opportunity to see him work with Sea Scouts, teen boys & girls, where his soft but firm approach brings out the very best in his students. Watching Davis check my teen son's navigation plan was remarkable. Very highly recommended.
