TRAINING ON YOUR OWN BOAT

Training On Your Own Yacht

Call or email now for our rates. Before your lesson begins, you receive a significant amount of time with us, planning your lesson (with your crew if you desire). This time is not a part of your onboard lesson. It is structured so you receive the best value for money during your lesson. We interview to gauge your ambitions, we plan, then execute, then debrief and finally map a strategy for your future. We taylor the lesson to your boat, your crew and even your bucket list.

Typical subjects include entering and leaving a berth, manoeuvring in tight spaces, equipment assessment, safety aspects, sail trim and speed in varying conditions, nutrition and provisioning, racing ambitions, passage making and pilotage. We have significant experience in destinations such as The Whitsundays, The Mediterranean, The South Pacific and Northern Europe.

During your lesson, either you or I, will photograph or video some of the points made so that you may review in the future or we can reference at a later date.
