Mainstay Sailing is a very well oiled machine that has delivered outstanding customer service, communication and support through my sailing qualification needs. I attended the Competent Crew and the Day Skipper courses over a three week period. Both instructors were extremely personable with beautiful yachts in great material state. The food over both weeks offshore was nothing short of outstanding. Whilst I have been sailing since 11 years of age, this 54 year old guy learned a lifetime of skills over this period. The fact that the course is backed by RYA and that the company is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) was very important to me. If I could offer some constructive criticism, I must say there were some minor gaps in what was delivered in the first week’s practical in comparison to the following week. This was primarily due to the incompatible weather. Regardless, a practical syllabus for all staff to follow will ensure this is issue is addressed. Overall, the period spent with Mainstay has been great fun, rewarding and challenging for me. Thanks Terrence, Nick and Ron.
5 stars are not enough to rate these guys, Terrence, Nick and Ron are such lovely and caring people!! Learning always in a fun way, 100% recommended!!
We have done the 1 week RYA Day Skipper pracical course, chartering the Mohawk 40ft just for my wife and myself, with Terence as instructor. From the moment we started booking everything Ron was great. And then our week with Terence was fantastic. Despite lots of rain, he always had a smile in his face and went not an extra mile but 10 extra miles! to make us feel comfortable, looking for the best sheltered anchorages, moorings, and best spots for snorkel (he was a diving instructor too so he knows them all!). He is also a great and patient teacher. And a great cook, I can't emphasize that enough! He is sociable, has great conversation, and a plasure to sail with. We would come back, 100%!
Best course ever, I learned so much. The instructor was very patient, had lots of sailing experience, and was a great cook! I recommend Mainstay for any kind of sailing, great value, lots of joy.
Terence was very knowledgeable on all things maritime and has a wealth of experience to share. Taking part in this training has motivated me to do more. I would highly recommend Mainstay Sailing for your sail and maritime training needs.
Captain Terence is a wealth of knowledge. Definitely huge value for money.
