This vid is great, and delivers more than it promises. I follow plenty of sailors that don't have the nifty safety features of SV Confidence. Really valuable! Cheers

Congrats! I am currently preparing for the Coastal Skipper certification and found this video very useful. A safety briefing has so much to cover that a complete one could take one day (or more). You managed here to cover the essentials in a - reasonably practical - 15 minutes!

Love this channel. As a Day Skipper with little experience I may well see if I can schedule a trip with you to gain more experience, later in the spring. When I watched your first video about Shoreham I didn't realise the service you provide but now I have seen your website I'm quite excited. I have followed you on Facebook. Is a Facebook message the best way to get in touch as I can't see contact details on your website?
