Ricardo Lobato from the Brazilian Match Race Association said “The success of the clinic must be credited to the instructor. Dave Perry is well above any previous expectation. He is very professional, great experience and also very funny. He is doing a great job taking advantage of a very well made course program. He passed the entire basic match racing concepts in detail. He also had time to go trough some advanced moves.”
