What crews and owners say
★★★★★
Stuart was super knowledgeable and good at keeping us working well as a team. I appreciated him sharing his thoughts with us during the race, during the debrief during the race and afterwards in response to subsequent questions I sent via WhatsApp. It always felt safe and like we were in good hands! Other suggestions For some reason I struggled to find the sailing instructions and tracker in advance of the race. Sending the links out to participants in advance might be helpful. Probably unusually I set off on Tuesday morning as I was working in London a few days before heading to Hamble. The list of things to bring was I think only shared after I left home. I had everything I needed but perhaps that could be sent out with a weeks notice or so just in case others are in a similar place and did forget something.
