What their Clients are Saying
"Having never done anything like this before I wasn’t sure what to expect but I can safely say I loved every minute.
Just wanted to send you a quick email to say how much I enjoyed the few days training and this weekends Cowes racing on Saturday and Sunday.
Thank you for the sailing experience, knowledge and suitably filthy jokes! I look forward to seeing/sailing with you all again in the not too distant future.
Best wishes Chris"
Chris Williams - Cowes Week
"I would recommend anyone that wants a life changing experience to try offshore yacht racing with Global Yacht Racing.
Be prepared for the unpleasant cold moments, but also to have your breath taken away with nature’s brilliance which one would never see on land."
Dawn Mottram - Fastnet Race
"I thoroughly enjoyed both the sailing and the social side of the experience and I was particularly impressed with the way the whole 'Global Family' welcomed me as a newcomer."
Mike Riley - Hobart and Cowes Week crew
