John, do they have a boat yet? Once upon a time I was a certified instructor and am in Tulsa.

In BVI Rob Swain at Nanny Cay is good for school. But to really learn to sail, they need to learn on small boats and learn seamanship on big boats. Offshore in BVI teaches on smaller boats.

I recommend buying a 15 Coronado or Capri 14.2 as perfect learning boats, when you know how to sail, you sell the boat for probably what you paid. I have found the problem with sailing schools is unless you practice in varied conditions you don't really learn.
