  • Skipper/coach on large private sailing yachts

  • Highly successful Yachtmaster exam instructor (94% pass rate)

  • Inshore and offshore racing

  • Serial yacht ownership

​

With the feedback, reviews and testimonials I have received it seems

that my work and approach are well respected and appreciated. My

approach is based on:

  • Experience and expertise

  • Passion

  • Structure and proces management

  • Empowerment and inclusiveness

  • And  according to my clients, a lot of patience​​

 

For those new to sailing I will create a safety based but also

fun environment to introduce you to the beauty of my passion.

The more experienced sailors I train and coach towards the RYA

Yachtmaster syllabus. Mastering skills, competent and 

confident, based on process management and situational awareness.
