"I thought I knew what to expect, but it was more challenging, more exciting, more intensive and far more rewarding then I could have possibly expected."
Jeff Howell 2005

"A great way to learn the art of sailing and cruising in an intense & interestingly packaged voyage. Not only do you learn & hone the art of seamanship, but you also learn a great deal about yourself, the elements and your fellow man. I wouldn't have missed it for the world & enjoyed the challenges. There are tough times but the joy of achieving your goal makes it all worthwhile Nothing, but nothing can ever dim the memory of the sight of dawn breaking over the Western Isles at the end of a night sailing with seals popping up all around. I took away not only a qualification but some truly abiding memories."
David Bampton April 2001

"Three months initially seemed a long time. Not long enough. A fabulous experience that ended far too quickly. I would have stayed aboard & set sail immediately given half the chance. There were so many highlights and so many superb places that I'm going to have to buy a boat and do it all again."
Mike Davis July 2001

"I would turn straight round and do it all again if I could".
George Ramsey

"The Experience was one of the most extraordinary things that I have done and would not have missed the thing for almost anything".
Tom Watson

Kira Arbuthnot

Nick Wyles

"Brilliant, excellent, chance of a lifetime, an experience not to be missed".
