Rival Sailing

Sailed on East End Endeavor with Sam on a 7day RYA Competent Crew course and had the greatest experience learning sailing and visiting the lovely Firth of Clyde area with my daughter, 12 and my husband. Sam is an excellent skipper and unsurpassable teacher with unfailing approach to new sailors (and also to experienced ones).

Had a great experience with RS doing my RYA Competent Crew course, would highly recommend to anybody looking to get introduced to sailing or expand upon previous experience and gain more skills.

Whether you're new to sailing or an old sea dog like me, I can recommend Sam and Jenny from Rival Sailing to provide expert tuition and a very hospitable time aboard Eastend Endeavour.

Completed the dayskipper course in august, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The sailing area is spectacular with a variety of destinations.

I would certainly recommend a course or even a holiday with a difference.
