Cannot fault John! Great attitude and a lifetime of seamanship obvious, and definately made me feel safe and engaged in learning and trying new sailing objectives. Sailed with Ted too, well done Ted, thanks for a superb week, if you can only organise more successful fishing it will be perfect! Both courses were well planned and very well taught. I cannot think how Sail Nelson can improve, only how I can improve! A Top Gun team run Sail Nelson, a great experience all round, personally challenging, but very positive.

A great sailing experience and tuition – maybe you could consider offering a ‘females only’ course?

Thank you John, this experience and you guiding it was beyond what I could have thought of to expect. Ted, you do an excellent job explaining the principles and how they can be used as a ‘tool kit’. I would enthusiastically recommend these courses to anyone with an open minded willingness to learn.

Ted is a really, really good instructor who knows what he is talking about and is able to communicate it – and above all he is fun! Thank you Ted, I really appreciate your efforts and learnt a lot!

A very good intensive course and a great experience, recommend to all, great value for money and I think we got the most out of it, one of our best times ever.

Excellent all round and I learned an awful lot. I now feel well placed to push on and put my learning into practise. On a social level had a superb week, very funny times! Excellent school, great people, hospitality, and tuition and very professional too.
