What is it all about?
Well, the racing can be very tough. Every day you are out on the water for at least 4 hours and this is full on, close quarters with thousands of other boats. It’s great fun and can be physically challenging.
In the evening though, we are in full party mode! The entertainment in the race village is spectacular, and on the final night there are some serious fireworks. Plenty to see, plenty to eat and drink, plenty of racing to be done.

I came for a 5 days course and it was freeezing! I did come in February though, so serves me right. There was a proper heater onboard though, so we we fine. The course structure was excellent, Aubrey [instructor] really knew his stuff and it was fun. Lots of mooring, which is what I was after. Feel much more confident now, and thanks for the pies, v. good 🙂
James CloverStaying in a different marina every night was the highlight for me. This is what cruising is about, I guess, so not coming back to Mercury was ideal, I got to know the Solent pretty well. Lee [instructor] was good at stepping back and letting us do it ourselves, which was very useful. Thanks again, and see you next year!
Dan CollierHi guys, just a quick note to say THANKS! I was really nervous, but it was all good in the end. We just practiced every day and little by little I figured it out, I can moor! Still a little nervous, but the basics are there now, I understand what needs to be done. I’ll come back for the mile building, I think. All in all, the course was well structured, very much hands on and I liked the boat, very plush :J Thanks for a great week!
