“Thanks
for a wonderful season. It's rare to find such a class act in business.
Thanks to great maintenance, planning, instruction and support, we
and all our guests had a safe, enjoyable and memorable season. From
one crew of six who were all age 75 years plus -- to the numerous
children who experienced their first sail -- everything was flawless.”

“I just
had to share with you something that made me very happy last night.
As you may recall, Rhonda [his wife] had been rather reluctant about
the idea of a boat from the beginning. Well, she returned last night
from her first sailing lesson in Stamford with a huge smile on her
face, bubbling with enthusiastic remarks about how much fun it was,
how much she liked Howard, [the sailing instructor] and how beautiful
it was on the water.”

“We had
an incredible sail on Saturday ... just had a blast. My son, who is
seven, said it was the best day of his life, and at 43, it was just
about the same for me.”

"I wanted
to let you know how much I, and my family, have enjoyed working with
you and Pinnacle Yachts. When I started with your company I really
did not know what to expect since I was new to boating. Your patient
instruction and uncanny availability when I needed help was wonderful
and added tremendously to my enjoyment of the boating experience.
When I started, I simply knew I wanted to experience boating without
the hassles and expense of boat ownership. Pinnacle, and particularly
you [Alan], have been a great and [have made it a] very enjoyable
experience. I now know that I can handle at least a 34 foot powerboat
and how much fun boating can be for the whole family."

“Emmy and
I went out yesterday for our first solo voyage. It was a blast! Thank
you so much for bringing Pinnacle to Connecticut. Please thank Patti
and Howard for their excellent tutoring. Cheers!”

“I just
wanted to tell you how excited I am about being involved with Pinnacle
Yachts. When I first contacted you about the program, I had a lot
of questions. You answered them all, and I am pleased to say that
everything you stated has been true and then some. The boat is fantastic.
Randy’s instruction has been wonderful. It has given me the
knowledge and confidence to operate the boat safely. It honestly has
opened up a whole new world of sailing that I had always dreamed about.
The feeling I had Friday and more so on Sunday of controlling that
ship is hard to put into words, but Paul [his son] could’t believe
how large my smile was when I was at the helm. I look forward to a
long and happy relationship with everyone at Pinnacle Yachts.”

“I really
had a great time this season and, in hindsight, am so thrilled that
both you and Gary provided me with such encouragement at the outset.
Had I not signed up with Pinnacle, I would have truly missed what
has now become another entire dimension to my lifestyle. I cannot
thank you enough. I look forward to a long and happy relationship
with everyone at Pinnacle Yachts.”

“I wanted
to mention some additional points that attracted to us to your program...
(1) Zero maintenance time - I just want to sail. I don't want to put
the boat in the water, fix it when it breaks or maintain it. (2) Less
pressure to use the boat - If I owned the boat, I would feel like
I should be using it all the time. Owing a boat implies you are a
"boat person", and that is your hobby. With your deal, usage
is largely pre-determined, and there is no such pressure. I can (and
do) other things, and I don't feel bad about it. (3) Pinnacle deals
with all the hassles - you have arranged the slip, [Pinnacle Staff]
fuels & keeps water in the boat, etc. (4) Short-term commitment
- I could own a boat, but I wouldn't have taken out the mortgage -
a big, long-term commitment. (5) Cost certainty - there are no surprise
maintenance costs and there is no depreciation surprise when the boat
is sold. To us, this is much more about convenience than ability to
own."

“You can
imagine my surprise when I opened the envelope [Christmas present
from wife] and saw pictures of the yacht! I definitely got the better
end of the deal in this marriage!”

Captain, Wondrous Stories
“My wife
and I sold our boat twelve years ago when our son was born. A few
years ago we started looking at buying a boat again until we learned
of your group [Pinnacle Yachts]. We signed-up and sailing has never
been better. It’s like owning your own boat for far less cost
and no maintenance. This program has been a real find especially having
the opportunity to sail a new boat with all the bells and whistles.
I’m impressed that the boat is always clean and ready to sail
when my guests and I arrive. My wife and I used to talk about purchasing
a boat, but after sailing with Pinnacle, we feel like we already own
our own boat.”

“I should tell
you that I am impressed with your overall program.
I get more sailing than I can actually handle.
I get a well thought out boat, that is well maintained.
I get this for a reasonable price.
What else can I ask for?”

“Let me
take this opportunity to express our delight in Pinnacle Yachts. Also,
for providing this most valued service for our lakefront enjoyment.
Summer Wind had a major part in making our summer memorable. It would
not have been possible without the attention to detail that was shared
between Summer Wind’s Captains and Pinnacle. This made sharing
“Our” boat rewarding and valued as much as the service
received from Pinnacle. All of which exceeded my expectations.”
L. Z. - Engineering

“Six years
ago with Pinnacle, my sailing dream came true. I feel I now have my

“Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at
your Captain's party. Meeting the captains and crew of some of the
other craft while enjoying the hors d'oeuvres, refreshments and the
live entertainment made for a great evening. Randy was telling me
about [the yacht] you'll be enjoying later this year, and I must admit
-- it had me dreaming of teak gliding above turquoise waters while
blue skies outlined white sails and puffy clouds only to fade into
the ever approaching horizon.”

“I just wanted to tell
you what a great time I had today [at the orientation]. I met so many
nice people, had a wonderful lunch, shared some great stories, and
learned a lot in the process. I wanted to thank you for the wonderful
orientation you organized today. You really have a class operation
in Pinnacle Yachts and we are proud to be a part of it. We look forward
to seeing you out "on the lake" this summer. Thank you again.”

“I had a wonderful time
today, and look forward to the season!! Thank you. I remember when
I first called and spoke to you about Pinnacle vs. [the alternative]
- we spoke of true sportsmanship and etiquette and the difference
between Pinnacle and [the alternative]. I am so impressed with Pinnacle
and the folks I've met - owners, captains, instructors. How nice and
I just had to tell you!!”

"I just put Forever Young
back away for the last time this season. What a great time we had
this year. We created some wonderful memories with many people who
never have experienced the beauty of our city from the this great
lake. Thanks for the program. It's been wonderful."
