“It takes a gifted instructor to simultaneously and appropriately challenge everyone on my boat—from veteran sailors to 12-year-old kids. But Jahn is capable of identifying limits, adjusting his teaching style in real time to the level of each learner, and then pushing everyone to achieve their best potential. Not only can he do all of this: he can do all of this while navigating complex weather conditions requiring split-second decisions and decisive actions, and somehow make everyone not only feel safe but also have an incredible adventure. “This is the most fun I have ever had on our boat,” declared my daughter afterward. ”
