Spanish Rias

Now you can take your RYA Competent Crew or Day Skipper course with us in NW Spain. 'Rumour of BOSS', our 38' Ocean equipped Sigma, is based in Villagarcia in Galicia, where we will be offering 6 and 7 day courses and cruises of the beautifully unspoilt Spanish Rias.

These cruises are ideal for those who would like to escape the British Summer and attend their Competent Crew of Day Skipper certificate course in tidal waters outside of the UK. Contact us on + 44 (0) 2380457733 or by e-maill

 

Bespoke Training

When it comes to learning how to sail or going for yachting qualifications, we understand that everyone has different requirements. So this year we are offering a totally tailored training package.

We are always pleased to design training programmes to suit specific needs, so in order to make it easier for you to tell us about your sailing experience and help us design your training programme we have devised an easy to complete online experience questionnaire. It's so simple and asks all the right questions. Click here to complete it and we'll get back to you with a training programme to suit you; or contact us on + 44 (0) 2380457733 or by e-mail

 

Yachting TV


We are really pleased to be extending our association with the innovative Yachting TV. Peter Ellis, our Principal has been busy working with YTV's Steve Adams to produce a series of short video tutorials on boat handling. Each piece will be 8 - 10 minutes long enabling viewers to pick up lots of bite sized tips on how to  moor a yacht. The monthly online magazine covers the latest yachting issues and every month you will be able to see BOSS Instructors giving hints and tips to help improve your sailing skills. Watch this months episode

 

Staff Training

Despite a very busy start to the season, Pete Ellis, the School Principal is still managing to get out on the water with our team of instructors. Paul Evans (now in Spain), Nick Wood Tim Whitehouse and Karen Bosman have all learned lots of new tricks to pass onto course students. Which ever courses you decide to do this year, we are sure that you will get the very best instruction from the team.

 

60 Mile Offshore Passages

Due to demand, this summer, we are introducing a series of passage making cruises for those who would like to build up their mileage including 60 mile Yachtmaster skippered passages. Full details will be out shortly. In the meantime, if you are looking to get your skippered passages in then please feel free to call us for a chat about what you need.

Ocean Wandering

Having completed another Atlantic circuit, Ocean Wanderer is now out of the water and undergoing a refit in preparation for her departure for Spain, the Canaries and the Sunny Caribbean at the end of August. Paul Chedd, who sailed all the way from Hamble having completed 4 ocean passages in Ocean Wanderer and sailed the length and breadth of the Caribbean is now back in the Solent running five day RYA courses. He will be taking his Yachtmaster Instructor course later in the year and after completing around 20,000 miles this year deserves a well earned "rest" running Yachtmaster exam preparation courses.

If you want to get away from the winter weather in the UK, we still have spaces aboard Ocean Wanderer in Spain, the Canaries and the Caribbean as well as on Ocean passages from the; UK to North West Spain, Galicia to the Canaries, Antigua to the Azores, and Azores back to the UK. Anyone is interested should contact us on + 44 (0) 2380457733 or by e-mail
