The tuition was excellent, especially compared with that received for my Day Skipper with another school. I only wish that I had started sailing with rusailing because Rob is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about sailing, his approach is very clear, he has so much patience with students and he adapts the pace to meet individual needs. He also makes it fun! This was an excellent experience, from the day of my first contact with rusailing until the time that we stepped off the boat at the end of the course, I could not help but be very impressed with the caring and professional attitude at this sailing school.

Thank you once again for a really outstanding Portuguese sailing experience. Excellent teaching and ideal conditions. I don't see how it could have been made better.

.... Just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I enjoyed the Coastal Skipper Practical Course and Yachtmaster Prep that I did with you.

Rapidly approaching 60, and after 30 odd years of nothing but motorboats, it came as something of a cultural shock to step onto a yacht with a view to getting a professional qualification. Initially I couldn't help but feel rather like a rabbit in a cars headlights, but with the thoroughly professional tuition you both provided, slowly but surely things became more natural.

Robs tuition was always pitched at the right level, yet he pushed for as much progress as possible out of each day. I never felt denigrated in any way during the course as you both know how to deliver highly constructive criticism when things are not going according to plan. Equally, when things were going well - you made me feel ten feet tall! I had fantastic value for money, and I really don't think anyone could have provided better Sailing Education for me.

To sum up ...... Everything provided by rusailing far exceeded our expectations. We could not be happier. This is the best training provider we have ever dealt with. Whilst we may be unable to return as students we will be (and already have been!) recommending this training facility to our peers. Well done!

Just a brief note to let you know how pleased we are that we chose rusailing for my Yachtmaster prep. and Janets' Competent Crew Course. I don’t have the words to tell you how impressed we were with the incredible/fabulous etc.level of service/instruction/fun etc. that we have experienced with you during the past few weeks.

I've not done any other RYA sailing courses,so do not have anything to compare with..... but I believe that we would have been hard pressed to find anyone with more enthusiasm, desire, and ability to impart knowledge and skills, along with the willingness to go the extra mile, put in extra time, and so on and so on. On top of that, you are really nice people, and I hope we have made 2 new friends.

If anyone wants to do a RYA tidal course, or just brush up on their boat handling skills, in sunny climes, I can't recommend rusailing highly enough.

Just wanted to say thank you to you and Rob for the excellent 3 days sailing. The area was much better for cruising than I imagined and the experience was easily the most enjoyable I've had under RYA tuition, which incidentally was really clear and logical and again the best I've experienced. The good company was also very much appreciated. I won’t hesitate in contacting you guys in the future to sort out a full coastal skipper course, I just hope you're not too busy!

You both make a great team, with helpful email correspondence before coming out, good directions and helpful information. Robs tuition is excellent, based on the fact that he knows the theory and more importantly really does know it in practice as well, all the practical art of boat handling and is an excellent sailor and really understands how to make the boat go quicker.

The standard of everything on the boat is first class, I was impressed how all the safety options were there, yet nothing appeared cluttered and safety did not restrict ones sailing but in fact enhanced it. I enjoyed the week immensely, and will be recommending you to others.

1st class boat and equipment.Tuition was excellent and pace perfect. I will be back as soon as possible without a doubt.

Annecy is a great boat, well equiped. Moreover she is maintained extremely well - clean and tidy... Regarding the provision, it was excellent with a broad and fine selection of foods and drink.... The tuition was good: clear, thorough and interesting. I am just sorry that I have no more holidays to use for a while!

Rob was excellent. We really benefited from his style of teaching, in that he made the students feel relaxed and we found that we learnt a huge amount in a short time. He took the trouble to explain things even if they were not a requirement for our course, to answer our questions and give us a really useful grounding in the basics. We will return!
