  Sailing instructor (keelboat), business owner

  We operate a family business at the weekend teaching adult students the required skills to sail and operate a keel yacht safely and with confidence on our 30ft trailing vessel in Lyttelton Harbour.I teach four hour sessions which build up the students to become competent crew over several lessons. When we get to peak season I employ other tutors to teach for me.I set up the company a few years ago now and it continues to grow in reputation and financially. I have designed and build the company website, mailing lists and promotional material plus put the vessel thought the very strict 'safe ship management' system. I gained my commercial skipper ticket in 2008I believe I have achieved a work / work & work / life balance with this business Show less
