From the crews, students and teams who sail with us.
"We had a great race. This is what I love about sailing. A group of like minded people who've never met each other, coming together gelling as a team with little or no instruction, very satisfying. Very impressed with Unity sailing, the boat was well prepped, in great condition, the skipper (Louise Clayton) was very professional, worked very hard throughout the race to keep us competitive. Full boat tour, safety briefs, race over view, route briefing etc. before we started and provided coaching when needed during the race, very impressed. The race was very tactical with the light winds which had the potential (as it did to some) ruin the race if getting caught in the wind holes. So we were very pleased with our placing and the race overall. Many thanks for all the hard work, you guys are doing a great job, much appreciated!!"

"Hair of the Dog and the trusty autopilot 'Clifford' where great. The boat was well setup and comfortable."

Crew
"Lou worked her socks off as our skipper. From all the pre-race organising, tactical decisions on the race course and getting us back to the dock safely. Thanks for all your help, coaching and preparation during Myth of Malham, I hope we get to sail together again!"
