How has Oakcliff helped you in my development:

Oakcliff has been impacting my life since the second I stepped foot into their office for the first time. They have a unique environment that pushes everyone around them to make themselves better. As long as you are putting the effort in, you will be respected. And you are able to get 24/7 exposure to professional sailors in every category possible. They prepare you for the life of a pro-sailor especially in the off hours aspect that are not known to most. With the seemingly limitless resources available to me and the work environment to push me to improve myself, Oakcliff has made me an exponentially better sailor.
