"Women teaching women is an idea that really works", says Captain Fraker, "because female students are more relaxed in an
all-female environment. Women seem to have a slightly different learning style", she adds. "They need to know why they are
doing something, and once you explain, then they can do it with confidence!" MV Times July 1, 2000
Captain Lynne Fraker, who lives aboard and charters "Ena", has over ten years of experience teaching women to sail. Lynne
learned to sail as a child on the Great South Bay. She moved to the Marthas Vineyard to pursue her career as a Occupational
Therapist but found herself spending more and more time sailing. After receiving Coast Guard License she began dividing her
time between work as a delivery captain and instructional cruises. Captain Fraker has taught basic sailing and coastal navigation
as well as live-aboard cruising courses.
Ena is a 34' beautifully maintained classic wooden yacht designed by John Alden. Gain skills and confidence as you sail her
