Providing an unrivalled racing experience

The company was founded by round the world racing yachtswoman, Allie Smith in 2004 with just a handful of racing 'wannabes' and has now become the leading provider of racing and race-training in the UK!

Combine this with an efficient yet friendly shore-support team   - and you know you'll have the best racing experience possible.

Our key difference is the Sailing Logic family feel - we're a small company and you'll soon know all of us. And with our fun ethos and regular socials - you'll find yourself amongst friends in no time!

Many of our individuals have become firm friends and return time and time again to race with us, as they see their own skills develop and enjoy the friendly atmosphere we create.

Testimonials

Results which speak for themselves

Over the past years, as well as having a lot of fun we have acheived some fantastic racing results - including the RORC's (Royal Ocean Racing Club) highest annual award of 'Yacht of the Year' in 2009  in honour of 'outstanding racing achievement, whilst introducing a large number of people to the sport.'  

We are very proud of our trophy cabinet, especially as many of these were won with a novice crew who'd never sailed together before! Our winning formula is simple - our unique ethos, high-quality racing packages and crew enthusiasm!

About Us

  • Outstanding seamanship ...

    Our skipper's example of outstanding seamanship and his nurturing of the team meant we not only had a fabulously enjoyable year but importantly, we could really make Puma go fast! This is not just sailing, this is Sailing Logic.
    Ben Kennedy - Consultant Haematologist
  • Consistent performance ...

    Puma has been a regular RORC entrant over the past three years, consistently posting top results whatever the weather and always with a number of enthusiastic newcomers to the sport amongst her crew. Being awarded 'Yacht of the Year' recognises not only a successful season but also, and in particular, for consistent racing performance whilst introducing a large number of people to the sport at a highly competitive level..
    Eddie Warden-Owen - Chief Executive of RORC
  • Absolutely delivers...

    Sailing Logic absolutely delivers what they promise. I joined Logic 2 years ago with a view to take my sailing to a new level both in racing and technique; I now have my costal skipper ticket and completed a personal goal of racing on Puma in this years Fastnet campaign.
    You arrive as a client, but quickly you become a team member.
    Thanks Allie!  
  • Howard Mitchell - Business Consultant
