Testimonials
Elated!
One of my objectives for joining Sailing Logic for the RORC
Caribbean 600 was to gain an understanding of race strategy and
course planning and both Tim and Ross were very generous with their
time giving detailed explanations of the thinking behind the
decisions made throughout the race; then to acheive the end results
(1st in class) as a product of that process was immensley
enlightening!
Both were very patient, taking the time to explain best
practice for safe sail changes and trim - I even managed to trim
the different kites on many occassions - something I had always
wanted to do but not have the confidence in 'race mode'
before.
All in all a fantastic experience for me. Thanks!!"

Never looked back...
I approached Sailing Logic when I wanted to learn to sail.
Sharon helped guide me on the right courses to get started
with, and then at each step, the different options open to me. With
Sailing Logic's enthusiasm and passion, I progressed from the RYA
Comp Crew to Day Skipper and now into yacht racing, and have not
looked back since! I have joined a group of like minded people
taking racing seriously, but having serious fun out there too; with
that combination, you can't help but win!

A journey of transformation...
For me, learning to race in yachts was much more than a
short-term pastime. I was looking to grow and develop my sailing
skills with a professional organisation that was dedicated to
teaching and serious racing. Sailing Logic has been able to take me
on a journey of transformation over the years that makes me feel
really proud.

I have discovered a love of racing in a
competitive team..
'My first Sailing Logic experience was Cowes week in 2006 when
after sailing for years I wanted to try racing. I loved it so much
that since then I have completed another Cowes week, Spring Series,
Winter Series, Round the Island and the Cervantes with them. I keep
coming back because the skill of the skippers, the quality of the
training and the organisation are second to none, I always meet
like minded people and have a great time, the experience has really
improved my sailing and I have discovered a love of racing in a
competitive team. Winning the winter series this year was
brilliant! What Sailing Logic offers is unique and I would
recommend them to anyone'.

I have joined the many numbers of Logic
Addicts...
After completing the Fastnet '07 on a friend's boat, I was
frustrated with the amount I still had to learn about racing. After
researching all the various sailing schools, I signed up to the
Winter series with Sailing Logic. I learnt more in that 1st weekend
than I had the entire year before and have raced over 7000 miles on
Puma Logic since, as well as completing my Yachtmaster. There is no
escaping the fact that I have joined the many numbers of Logic
Addicts.
The most important thing to me about Sailing Logic is that I am
treated in the way a professional racer would be. I am not a
customer or client, I am a critical and accountable part of a
winning team - a team that is usually laughing and joking all the
way to the finish line.
I have been taught about and been able to try all the various
positions on a yacht and having decided bow is what I enjoy most, I
have been allowed to stay up there and hone my skills. I have
attended many of the classroom lessons on race tactics and strategy
that form part of a Sailing Logic campaign. I have learnt the
ongoing maintenance requirements for a yacht during an long ocean
race, including engine and keel bolt checks, sail repairs, rig
tuning and have even had the chance to go up the mast a few
times!
Andimportantly, I have made friends for life and have found a
way to leave work stresses on the pontoon without a backward glance
as we sail off for another adventure.

I keep going back for more...
For the past 4 years in Sailing Logic I found "patience" and the
ultimate balance to hectic London Life. Where or what else can
provide a complete novice such a satisfactory challenge, contestant
learning, great fun, real and sociable teamwork with empathic
people who become friends for life…. I keep going back for
more…
