“Last week, I completed my five day RYA Day Skipper Practical with EastSail in Sydney. They say it is a prerequisite to have done their ten-week RYA Day Skipper shore-based course but I decided to sign up regardless. I was worried I wouldn’t know enough so I went through all my notes from your course beforehand and also read through the Tides handout that you produced. Well, I shouldn’t have worried! I knew as much as anyone else on the boat, and your little tricks like Can Dead Mean Vote Twice and CADET, and the rule of twelfths, meant that I could do passage planning with confidence. I think it was partly that we did so many practical things in the face to face course with you, and you really focussed on the important bits. It was so much better than having to tackle an online RYA course by myself,

"What a fabulous day on the water we had yesterday with Jackie and Noel. For me (Kim) it was a great first experience on a yacht. Jackie and Noel explained everything so patiently, in great detail and they are both extremely knowledgeable. My partner Casey, who has a little bit of sailing experience, learnt a variety of things too.

Thank you so much Jackie and Noel for creating such a wonderful day with such great care. Casey and I loved everything from the first minute to the last one including Jackie's delicious morning tea and lunch (we had another sneaky Portuguese tart at the cafe this morning), the glassy water at first and then a bit of excitement with the winds picking up. We will definitely be back for more. We highly recommend sailing with Jackie and Noel. All the best from Casey and Kimmy 😊"

With so many years of experience and knowledge on the water and in the classroom, Jackie and Noel have an excellent ability to engage with all students, giving them many different strategies and memory recall tips for safety, rules and when planning a trip and out on the water.
We live in the Far South Coast and having access to such an array of different training courses they offer is fantastic and even better supporting local people, support SisterShip Training!!! Thank you Jackie and Noel...Greg Ford"
