Letters from some of our satisfied customers....

Dear Francis and Mark,

Just a quick note to say massive thank you for your help and instruction during my sailing training courses.

Firstly, I found the Day Skipper Theory Course extremely informative and Mark's tuition made it enjoyable. Even when concepts were more difficult his ability to explain these and their practical uses in an easy to understand way really helped. Including the important Rule #3 he was able to make the learning fun too. Many thanks to Mark W.

Secondly, I was really pleased to be able to learn a great deal from Mark L during my time on the Competent Crew part of the practical course. It probably helped having 4 Day Skippers on the same course allowing me to watch repeatedly his attention to detail and explainations to each of the students in turn. I was extremely impressed with his time management during this week to ensure that all his students individually covered all aspects of the required syllabus. Aims and tactics to achieve all maneuvers and navigation requirements were clearly explained and demonstrated which gave confidence to everyone aboard to achieve the tasks set. Mark L should be commended for his efforts.

Finally, the sailing experience I gained from the week with Howard will no doubt be invaluable. We gained a great deal of sailing time under wind power alone and my confidence in making way under sail and power has improved considerably. 

Thank you very much for the training and tuition and I would happily highly recommend your services to anyone else wishing to progress through their sailing tickets.

Many Thanks,

To all at Outreach Maritime

Stuart and my self attended your Start Yachting course last weekend 18th June and we toughly enjoyed it. I decided to drop you a line to thank the skipper Mark for his expert tuition. He is a natural teacher and makes learning so much fun. He is a real asset to the company. I love to meet people that are good at their jobs and he deserves recognition for his professionalism.

We both intend to come back and complete the second part of the Competent Crew course on your great yacht Albion with Mark. I will gladly recommend you to any one that would like to improve their sailing skills and have a great experience.

Kind regards,

Hi Mark.

I hope this email finds you well.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you very much for all your help passing my yachtmaster practical. I found you very patient while I was suffering the consequences of a broken leg sustained 8 weeks prior to my exam. Your encouragement and coaching were brilliant and it really helped with my confidence. I would highly recommend you to anyone I know wanting to do any form of yachtmaster training.

Furthermore,as discussed. I am very keen to complete your 4 day diesel course upon my return to the UK later in the year.

Once again,many thanks for all your help last week.

Kind regards

Hi Francis,

Just wanted to write a quick thank you to yourself and Mark for a great 5 days
completing the competent crew course last week. We both thought that Mark did an
excellent job both being great at tuition and at accommodating both myself and Tash.
We really couldn't have asked for more.

Dear RYA

I recently Passed my Yachtmaster offshore.

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment my RYA Instructor
Mark Wibberley. I found Mark to be extremely helpful. My prep for the exam
with Mark lasted 3 days and then the exam on day 4. I feel that I only
passed my exam because of Mark's help. Throughout my prep week with him he prepared
me for the exam by constantly putting me in exam senarios and by making sure
I did every thing proficiently and with confidence. We also went over
plenty of useful knowledge before my exam. I would like to say that it is
really thanks to him instilling so much confidence and information in me
that i passed my exam.

Yours sincerly,

Clarissa Davies

Dear Mark

I want to thank you for all the time and hard work you put in this year
volunteering with the Ellen MacArthur Trust. In 2007 we took more youngsters
sailing than ever before and without the help of people like you this
wouldn't have been possible.

Your enthusiasm and knowledge during the summer and also on our first
ever dinghy week helped the young people get the most from their experience,
and we hope you enjoyed your time with the Trust as much as they did.

Your dedication and commitment is truly appreciated and we look forward to
working with you next year as we move forward to expand both our trips and
our residential dinghy course in 2008.

Thanks once again, you did a fantastic job.

Yours Sincerely

Frank Fletcher

The Ellen Macarthur Trust

Dear Mark,

We received a complimentary e-mail this week, from one of your YM prep candidates from a course
you ran last September.
She was impressed by your coaching skills and I would like to pass on my thanks for your continued
efforts in delivering great courses on behalf of the RYA.

Yours sincerely

I thoroughly enjoyed my first five days of sailing and can't wait to continue. The teaching was fantastic - felt like I was in very safe hands too!
