Brian,
Because of the recent weather, it took a while but we are now settled in our slip in Bay Head. I just wanted to let you
know how happy we are with Winters Sailing Center and the new 46. The substantial electronic and other installations
done by Bob were first class in every respect and all operated to expectations throughout the trip. The 46 sailed
magnificently in heavy weather, very stable and balanced. The addition of Jason to the team was a great move and we
found him to be extremely competent and conscientious with the result that the launch and checkout was completed well
before May 1 as well as the short hit list. You have a great team and product and Carol and I thank you all your help and attention.

Hi Bruce,
Just wanted to let you know that the couplings arrived and they
are perfect. Please pass my thanks on to Marshall who made it possible.
In fact pass this on to all involved in your Company. You must
have a good leader with devoted,caring employees.
It was such a pleasure dealing with you, like the old days
when customers were important and there was a feeling of
personal involvement and caring.
Your Company scored 100% on all counts and I needed to let you
know that and say a big THANKS.
Kind regards,

Bruce,
Just wanted to thank you for getting that job in before we leave on Sunday. We drove down after work
yesterday to unload all our food and stuff and noticed the radio and the lights were repaired.
I'm enclosing a copy of a letter that I faxed to Beneteau a few months ago as I'm not sure if they share
everything with the dealer.
Talk to you soon,
Bob Kais

Now that we have enjoyed our first season with our Beneteau 423 (commissioned May of 2006)
we just wanted to send you a short note letting you know how pleased we are with the level of
service we have received from Winters Sailing Center in Riverside, NJ. During our first year of
ownership we experience failures with water heater, forward shower, windlass and a leaking port;
all on seperate occasions and every time we called their service department the unit was replaced,
repaired or a part shipped always within two weeks of our contacting them. Although we had
commented to in the survey you sent us that we were disappointed in the length of time it took them
to commission the boat; ever since we've left their docks their service dept. has been just great and
should be commended.

Don,
Larry and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all that you have done for us. We can
honestly say that this boat purchase has gone far smoother than we could imagine it would –
largely due to you! You and the entire staff at Winter’s have spoiled us and now we must face
back home in Sea Bright! We have appreciated your responsiveness when we needed something
– and it seemed like we always needed something. We are excited to enjoy the rest of the season
with “His Mink”. We would certainly recommend you to our friends we meet while sailing.
Thanks and take care!
Sincerely,
Larry and Suzanne Hilaire

Hi Brian,
First of all, thank you so much for your wonderful sales service with our choice on our second
sailboat. Keep up the good work!
Our boat is awesome and we are sure to be sailing a lot this
summer and many more.
Also, we would like to thank jerry for an awesome job as our "Captain" on our 3 day voyage back
to Raritan Yacht Club. We learned a lot from him when it comes to maintaining our boat. He did an
excellent job!
Sincerely,
Mike, Maria, Tim, Zack and "Jack"

Dear Don and Brian,
On Saturday we spent our first night on Whisper. When we bought our Beneteau 331 at your
dealership in 2003,
we were more than happy with our choice of G. Winter Sailing. Now with our
new Beneteau 373 in 2006, we confirmed our first impressions.
Your patience and willingness to accomodate all our crazy wishes is appreciated. Your effort to
get us the best deal and making the closing and commissioning as painless as possible has proven
that you really do have our best wishes in mind.
We saw the photo of Shakeh and I on board on your web site. The boat looks great and all three
of us are looking forward to the 2006 cruising season.
Please extend our thanks to everyone at G Winter, we will see you again before the boat is
deliverd to our home port and will stay in touch.
Stay well and thanks,
Jerry, Shakeh and Kylie Sapienza

Dear Glenn & Brian
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and
your sales staff, specifically Don and Gary for the
great experience in buying our 36mkII. This was our
second purchase in three years and Marilyn and I are
extremely happy with our decision to let your work for
us again in finding just the right boat for us.
Being in a service buisness myself I know the importance
of satisfied customers.They tend to come back again
and again when kept happy. It's obvious that your
company has not lost sight of its mission. You
remembered that you are primarily in the "people
buisness" and you also just happen to sell boats. What
a marvelous combination.
Based on this, I have reccomended customers to you and
will keep doing so in the future. Thank you again and
keep smiling.

Dear Kristin:
On behalf of Linda and me, I want to thank you, Glen, Brian, Nancy and all
of the staff at G. Winter Sailing Center for organizing and implementing the
"OUTSTANDING" Winter Rendezvous for Sailors which you held on January 15th,
2005. It was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!! All of the seminars were
extremely beneficial. I learned lots about gelcoat repair / maintenance,
picked up some tips on engine self maintenance and learned about the new
Raymarine gadgets that we all simply "gotta" have!!
Also, the raffles and vendor tables were well organized and properly
staffed. Then, on top of it all, you had a wonderful buffet for us with live
music as well!! You all thought of everything. The customer driven focus of
G. Winter Sailing Center is, I believe, at the heart of your organization's
great success. I'm happy to be part of the G. Winter Sailing Center Family
and we look forward to a continued, long term, relationship. Please pass on
my deepest thanks and warmest regards to Glen, Brian, Nancy, Don, Bruce,
Tish, Jason, Joe and everyone there.
You gave us all a good 'sailing fix' just when we needed it - in the middle
of winter. Thanks again, Kristin!!

RE: Delran High School Ice Hockey Club
On behalf of the students and parents of the Delran
High School Ice Hockey Club, I want to thank you for
the contributions, the Club was able to reduce the
financial burden to the students and parents. This
reduction directly made the difference for families to
allow their son to participate. This is extremely
important today given the many social challenges that
our youth face. Team sports are very positive
activities that help our youth make good life choices.
Again, thank you for this much needed support.
Very truly yours,
Joe Griffith

Dear Ms. Backensto:
Just want to thank you for a great time on Saturday.
The Winter Rendezvous for Sailors was just what we
needed during this dull winter months of no boat to
sail. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the time
talking to some of our old boating friends and meeting
a few new ones.
We attended all the Seminars for the day adn came away
with new knowledge from each one.
Also, the Cocktail Party and appetizers could not had
been nicer. Afterwards, we shared dinner with John
and Honey Funston which was a great ending to the day.
Please share our thank you and appreciation to your
staff for a job well done.
