Both our Principal Victoria and Chief Instructor Danny have a lot of experience
in sail training and organising trips, so, no matter how big or small we will
try to accommodate your request.
All our skippers and instructors are either fully qualified RYA Yachtmaster or
Cruising Instructors with many years of experience sailing in Scotland and with
years of offshore experience, sailing across the seas and oceans. They all have
various other RYA qualifications and are keen to share their knowledge with you.
If you would like to talk about your sailing plans and aspirations, or are
interested in customised training at sea or ashore, please contact us at

Emergency First Aid at Work covering the full HSE syllabus.
First Aid at Sea.
This course is an excellent first aid training package for people to gain
invaluable knowledge and skills and learn how to help themselves, family, team
mates and friends if they were to have a medical emergency on the water. The
content also serves as an excellent annual refresher covering the full HSE
syllabus plus head injuries, heart attack, asthma and much more. This course
fulfils all the criteria for Appointed Person first aid training, however a
practical course is required in order to be a full First Aider.
This course is designed to give you the theoretical knowledge (and a lot more)
needed to accompany the Emergency First Aid at Work 6 hour First Aid course
adapted for sailing and watersports. This course does not seek to replace the
practical element but allows you to undertake the online training at a time and
place to suit you and then book onto practical course should you need to do so.
The course consists of illustrated step by step directions, flow charts,
diagrams, videos and test yourself sections fully compatible with all computers
and mobile devices. You will be able to stop and start as often as you like and
print your Certificate on completion. You will have continuous access to the
course for 12 months.
It is impossible to cover all eventualities within this course, or to equip you
with the knowledge and skills to appropriately diagnose and treat in
unpredictable real life situations. If you suspect serious illness or injury,
you should always seek immediate professional medical advice.
The author has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information
contained within the course, however, this course is merely a guide and the
author does not accept any liability or responsibility for any inaccuracies or
for any mistreatment or misdiagnosis of any person, however caused.
The First Aid course material has been written by Emma Hammett, qualified nurse,
