Peter Randall

Peter qualified as an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor in the 1990's and has worked as a full time professional sailor ever since.  He has introduced many hundreds of students to the joys of sailing, cruising and racing in a variety of boats with a friendly and relaxed style that is all his own.  Peter will skipper most of our events including racing, corporate events and tuition.

Jim Bennett

Jim was introduced to sailing aged 4 and has been a keen sailor ever since.  At 14 he took up racing at the Hayling Island Sailing Club.  Jim has worked as a racing and charter skipper since 1996 and holds both his Yachtmaster Ocean and Yachtmaster Instructor tickets.  Jim's laid back nature is misleading - he is acutely aware of everything happening around him on the boat and is brilliant at explaining exactly how to tweak the sails etc to achieve a desired result.

Prue Nash

Prue has been sailing since childhood on an enourmous variety of dinghies and yachts. Her experience of hostessing includes work on a classic 96 foot schooner, Coral of Cowes. Prue likes nothing better than sailing off into the sunset across an ocean (so don't leave her to do the navigating, unless that's your plan too). She's completed three Atlantic crossings as a watch leader, and a season in the Caribean.

Rob Gibson

Rob has spent the best part of a lifetime handling small boats.  He is an RYA Instructor and Examiner who has taught Boat Handling and Sailing techniques to many hundreds of students over the past 20 years.  His work has enabled him to cross oceans and sail in many parts of the world, and his books on the subject have been RYA 'best sellers' since publication.  He is very active on the UK Yacht Racing circuit sailing his racing yacht 'Hope & Glory/UNICEF' offshore.
