Letters from clients:

Its been a week now since I got back home after what can only be described as a most fantastic week prep for Yachtmater and then passing the exam at the end. Thank Jim for his really super instruction which was a great help and some real nuggets of advice on different ways to do things.Your co-operation with the accommodation was also really appreciated and I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone who wants to progress in sailing to contact you first.I could not fault any of the whole experience and I shall always be indebted to you.
Thanks again, a very satisfied client.
Regards Richard

I would like to thank everybody in Trafalgar. I may have spent a lifetime sailing but I have never submitted myself for any form of sailing qualification and I was extremely nervous about doing it! However Jim's pragmatic, practical and cheerful instruction soon had me relaxing and I am not too proud to admit that not only did I get ideas how to do things better but I also learnt new things too! The excellent home cooking from Cathy also helped considerably by removing one possible extra chore and being very tasty. So once again a big thank you and I have taken a brochure which I will have no hesitation in giving to any friend who wants to do the course.
Regards Robin Jenkins
