Yalla is our school boat
It is with great pride that I can affirm that Richard has been a core person in my sailing upbringing not only on the technical but also on the leadership skills enabling the confidence needed to become a boat owner and a racing skipper that I am today.

"I sailed with Richard on Clipper Round The World training. He provided really clear instruction, knowledge and best of all a philosophy for the day! I thoroughly enjoyed the week and would train with him again any day."

"I sailed with Richard during my Yacht Master offshore exam prep and Richard took us to another level in terms of boat and sail handling in some quite heavy weather that really instilled confidence in him as a skipper but also in myself... it also deepened my respect for the sea whilst aspiring to emulate Richard's full awareness of safety, sound judgement, calm and decisive decision making, clear instructions and motivating the entire crew. Thanks Richard!"
