Tougher than I expected!

The Middle Sea Race 2014 was an epic race that was much tougher than I ever expected. I had a fantastic time and cannot wait to do it all over again!

I loved every minute

Cowes Week 2009

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. Having never done anything like this before I wasn’t sure what to expect but I can safely say I loved every minute.

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

Spring Series Racing

Global folk,

Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for the effort you put into the Spring Series racing and crew.I had a great time regardless of the conditions, met some great people (again) and learned so much I outgrew the other boat/crew I’d been sailing with (unintentionally of course).

Round the Island Yacht Charter

Round the Island Race 2014 Beneteau 47.7 Charter, It was very easy to commission a yacht. Andy clarified exactly what the teams expectations were, gave us one quote that included EVERYTHING meaning it was hugely competitive and made a yes very easy.

A perfect sailing adventure

Loved sailing with you Andy and all the way from Gib with you Gareth. You people are deadly serious when it matters and mad as hatters when it doesn’t…that for me is a perfect sailing adventure.

Sydney to Hobart race start 2006

There can be no finer spectacle in sailing and I could feel my hair standing up with the thrill of it.

I throughly 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.

Patrick Good Sailing Adventure

I took the opportunity to do the delivery trip from Cowes to Gibraltar with Global Yacht Racing in September this year and was rewarded by the most spectacular trip. Andy’s ability to provide expert tips and suggestions to enhance the sailing whilst keeping a great level of humour, fun and laughs made this trip fly past.

Joe Jarrah

I would at some point like to own my own boat but for now Global Yacht Racing’s set up represents good value for money by comparison and also takes the stress and time out of owning a yacht for yourself, plus, you’re racing competitively and learning at the same time. This is only possible with a well-prepared and well run boat and that is why I keep going back to Global Yacht Racing.

I competed in the Middle Sea Race in 2009 and it is an event that makes a big impression on you. The culture the scenery, even the harbour alone is stunning; you feel like you are in Julius Caesar’s Rome! The race itself is superb too, one of my best moments was sitting on deck watching Mount Etna spitting lava and wondering what it would be like when the volcano really blew. And then it did. It was incredible.
