Feedback from Michael who successfully completed his Comp Crew in March " a great all round (almost life changing) experience"

Our Competent Crew Practical Course is an ideal way to learn and enjoy yacht cruising, or great for an active holiday.

A very thorough five full days introduction into the sport of yacht sailing. Students live on board our yacht Quintessence, well maintained cruising yacht, and experience all aspects of sailing. I will be you're, instructor and will ensure you not only complete the Competent Crew syllabus but also introduce some boat handling under sail and power. By the end of the course you will be both competent and confident to sail with others and have learnt all that is required to crew effectively. Accommodation is on board for the week.

Above all a very enjoyable, fun and safe week sailing.
