Just completed my fourth 5 day training course with RUSailing. Another wonderful week. I’d like to concur with YachtAllan’s review and add that I am always amazed by Rob’s patience, each year I come the poor guy has to repeat so many of the lessons I should have remembered from the previous trip! Sorry Rob, I guess I’m just getting old! Every time we’ve been to The Algarve and sailed with RU Sailing, we’ve been lucky enough to sail with dolphins, a truly magical experience and this alone would be worth the trip! Add in the brilliantly provisioned boat (thanks Jules, just the right amount of everything!), the well kitted out boats, the location, the local restaurants, the marina facilities, the weather!! Perfect!
Just completed Day Skipper in what can only be called challenging conditions. The weather varied from windy to gales and sunshine so we had a complete range of conditions. Our instructor Gary was patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. The boat Annency was superb, well equipped and excellent as a sailing boat. Rob & Jules were thoughtful hosts and ensured we were well informed and catered for. The instruction was challenging educational and at the end of week we all felt ready to skipper our own boat. Through out all this the craic was mighty. I would fully recommend RUSailing as an educational establishment or a place for simply sailing fun and relaxation. If you like the water and messing about in boats you couldn’t do better. My course was in April 2015.
I have sailed with these guys many times since finding them in 2009 and never fail to have a great time every time.
Having just returned from a brilliant trip with them to deliver a sailing boat to Lisbon and to have sailed with them on various races over the past few years as well as taking RYA set courses I can certainly agree that RU Sailing is much more than a normal sailing school
The studying process was exactly as I expect it should be. Consistent and logical way of explanation, a lot of pratically useful details, patience, affability and at the same time informal way of communication. I would like to return to improve my skills soon.
