Will be back in 2018. William Wallace RYA Competent Crew September 2017

Having 2 different instructors over the 3 weekend worked well as we had more varied instruction and different points of views. Overall the course was excellent and we learned a lot. We followed up with a Greek flotilla holiday which worked out really well. Thanks. Great course keep as it is. Paul, Sally & James Thomas RYA Day Skipper September 2017

A splendid experience enhanced by excellent technical knowledge and experience. This is enhanced by a very effective approach to the pedagogical aspects of the course allowing continuous iterative learning within a challenging yet supportive environment. As before, the food prepared was a delight. Instruction was exemplary and thoughtful. I would keep it just as it is. Richard Hester ICC September 2017

Martin made the course not only very informative but also managed to bring in a good balance of fun and humour to the week. I can not praise him highly enough for the way he conducted the course. Thank you. Liza Wright RYA Competent Crew September 2017

The weekend was a highlight of my year sailing. I thought it may be stressful with an overload of information, but it was a very pleasant experience which gave me all the information and tuition I was looking for and I felt like I had a holiday too. Thank you so much. I had a great weekend and learnt so much. I have no criticism in any way as I learnt far more than I expected. The company was first class too!! Thank you. Jason Smith RYA Competent Crew September 2017

I had been brought up sailing with the family but learnt more on this weekend than I had over decades with the family. It really helps having a modern vessel to work on and I enjoyed being trusted with the helm at more difficult times. Thanks a lot Roland. Joanna Doyne Weekend Refresher Sailing September 2017

The course really stretched my skills and gave me a true experience of being part of a sailing team. There were many opportunities throughout the week to learn and practice sailing. Roland allowed each of us to develop at our own pace and only intervened when needed. I have learnt a great deal in one week and look forward to continue my sailing skills in the future. Many thanks. The food was superb too! Tricia Hooson RYA Competent Crew September 2017

Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Learnt a lot of new skills and gained more experience. Look forward to returning in the new year. Charlie Rumsey RYA Start Yachting September 2017

Trevor was helpful and insightful, he went above and beyond the core syllabus with lots of very helpful practical tips and tricks to help make life easier. He was also very forward thinking and gave me great insight into what to expect moving forward beyond just Competent Crew. I look forward to coming back to complete my Competent Crew and beyond. Mike Kirby RYA Start Yachting September 2017

This was a very intensive course however it was well delivered and exactly what I was looking for. Steve is a very experienced yauchtsman who used all his experience to guide us through the training required. I could complain about the weather and trust this will be adjusted to sun and sea when I return for more training. Thanks. Andrew Paddison RYA Competent Crew August 2017
