RYA Essential Navigation & Seamanship Course
We just wanted to say thanks again for a very informative and useful course. We learnt a lot and look forward to being able to put all that into practice. It has also helped us to understand what we need to know and learn more about. Next step will be purchasing some charts and continuing to practice on our navigation skills.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for running such a good Navigation course over the w/e. I wasn't really looking forward to it as was convinced I wouldn't understand any of it, but its now all so much clearer. The real test was when I got back I picked up a navigation book (how keen is that!) which I'd previously tried to read and given up on as it was double dutch - and suddenly it all made sense! I'm really looking forward to putting it all into practice (though equally slightly dreading being responsible if and when we end up on the mud!). I thought your approach was really methodical ( just what I needed) but you also made it interesting which is why I just about managed to maintain concentration levels until 5.30 yesterday! I'll definitely recommend it to other sailing friends - specially navigation idiots like me who are completely starting from scratch!

Firstly thank you so much for the great course...despite all of our initial reservations about attending such a thing :-) we all thoroughly enjoyed it, learnt a lot of useful and vital stuff, and were VERY impressed with your teaching. We shall certainly spread your word. Thanks again

Karen, your style of teaching I consider excellent. Patience and empathy.... rock solid knowledge....confident.... kind..... yup Karen....... really good. Thankyou. If you are vetted by RYA from time to time and they need teaching recipient feedback, tell them to give me a ring.

Thank you Karen, for the recent course I attended with you. I have learned a huge amount and much of the mystery I previously felt around navigation has gone. You have an excellent and patient teaching style and I would certainly look to enrol on your courses in future.

RYA Day Skipper Theory Course
Not all good sailors are good teachers, and not all teachers have a thorough base of knowledge and experience of yachting. Karen at Emsworth is a yachtswoman with a thorough theoretical understanding and a wealth of practical experience that brings the theory to life. The teaching is well structured and clear, and most importantly linked to real world situations, ensuring the right things are focused on, and therefore remembered. I certainly recommend Karen for RYA theory tuition

Thank you for all your patience and hard work getting us all over the line. I was worried that the course would be a bit slow, but the pace was perfect and seemed to work for everyone.

Hi Karen Just a quick note to express my thanks to you for guiding me this through this course successfully last week. I have to confess that having pretty much no experience of sailing and none of chart work led me to approach the course with a good degree of trepidation. However, it was without doubt the combination of your vast knowledge, seemingly endless patience and easy teaching style that got me through. The experience has left me determined to move on to the practical, but only when it warms up ! Many thanks

Just wanted to say an enormous thank you for your tremendous teaching, patience & good humour throughout the course. It was a fantastic learning experience and it would have been horrifically hard without your excellent explanations. Anyway, just wanted to say that it was fantastic and that I really enjoyed it.

I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and will miss our trips down to Emsworth on a Tuesday evening. I think the way you structured the course was super, gradually building up each aspect of the chart work and pulling it all together at the end with the Pilotage and Passage Planning. Everything was well presented and very clearly explained. So thank you. Matthew and I are already looking forward to the next course in the Autumn.

Hi Karen, I just wanted to write and say thank you for such a well run course. We were both nervous about not having much exoperience of sailing theory, but you started right from the basics and covered the why as well as the what. It was very interesting and suprisingly enjoyable.

Firstly a big thank you for arranging this course. This is what I have been trying to master for years in a haze of well meaning advice and reading without really understanding what I was doing. Andy was an excellent teacher and the syllabus was pitch perfect for me. My objective was to feel confident in tackling small electrical tasks and I now do. Terrific.

Can I just say how much I have enjoyed doing the course with you, I was a bit sceptical of the zoom aspect at the outset but your were able to make it interesting and varied throughout and it really did work very well. You were always patient and encouraging and we all appreciated that. I feel like I have made the most of those dark lockdown evenings.

Just a note to say thanks for a great week – I thoroughly enjoyed the training in this (often overlooked) aspect of being on the water. Your approach to sharing knowledge and skills was second to none and I certainly benefited from the individual tuition provided as an integral part of the weeks course. Best wishes and thanks again – continued success for you and the school...!

Gordon Pownall - RYA Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Theory Course
Thank you for your excellent instruction and patience last week. I was impressed with how you recognised our weaknesses in order to set a personalised homework each day and with your calm pacing of the course in order to cover everything we needed to know during the week in order to achieve the required standard to succeed in the exams. I now look forward to more tidal sailing miles with greater confidence and when the time comes to do additional classroom courses before the next practical exam you will be the first port of call!

Just to thank you for the recent Coastal Skipper course. I think you judged it just right and found the course both instructive and fun. You quickly made me remember all the Day Skipper stuff I'd forgotten and managed to do in a few days what I had failed to achieve in months on the correspondence course (and at the same price). Emsworth is a pretty little town and the whole experience was very pleasant. I would recommend you to anyone.

I thought it was perfect. Explanations were extremely clear and this enabled me to apply what was being taught to the variety of questions and exercises posed. Your course definitely made me feel that a subject which can inspire concern or worry can in fact (with practice) inspire confidence. It was excellent, thank you.

Julian was an excellent instructor, teaching a very tricky and complex subject. He put the information over highly effectively, kept us all motivated despite the complex and challenging course content. He kept the course fun with exercises using the sextants and made the theoretical topics applicable and usable in the "real world" i.e., on board the yacht. My overall impression of the school is that it is very professional, in a wonderful waterfront marina environment, great facilities on site, excellent teaching rooms and training aids, friendly staff and very professional and effective instructors. Thank you very much.

Thank you also for a most informative and enjoyable day yesterday. Not only did I learn a lot but it was fun. The next challenge is to remember it all! To this end, the notes will be useful refresher material over the coming months before next season when practical use of VHF will be possible again.

Karen came to Hillingdon to run the VHF Radio Course 'in-house' which is a brilliant service. It was professionally run, in a friendly atmosphere, with good visual aids and equipment. Our group was small which creates a great learning situation and it was a productive and enjoyable day. We will definitely be using Emsworth School of Navigation for future courses for our staff.

Just a short note to thank you very much for yesterdays training for the VHF/DSC operator's licence. The course was run in a highly efficient and professional manner yet an informal atmosphere prevailed throughout the day. I was delighted to pass the exam - obviously! But one is never certain about the outcome of these things. You prepared us well. I have no hesitation in recommending your school.

Just wanted to say thank you for running such an efficient and enjoyable and instructive course yesterday. We all enjoyed it and it was incredible how much you got through in the time and how you made something we all thought was rather terrifying so much fun. I do not think it could be done better. I shall feel so much more confident now and have you to thank for that.
Many thanks and good sailing.

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a huge thank you for an enjoyable VHF Radio course last Sat. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't keep up, as I had been unable to read up before hand due to a tight work schedule. But due to your relaxed and comprehensive teaching, I was able to achieve my goal.
I'm looking forward to our sailing holiday in Greece even more now! Thank you again and I hope to do another course soon and will definitely come to ESN.

We wanted to let you know how excellent we thought the diesel engine maintenance course was on 23rd June. Les was a first rate teacher and taylored the course to suit our engines which was so helpful. He also gave us lots of useful tips related to the engine and some which were indirectly related. My cousin, David, said the course was much, much better than he was anticipating - 'Brilliant' was the adjective he used. My son, Tom thought it was extremely interesting - high praise from an 18yr old! Please could you relay our thanks and appreciation to Les. We have booked our ferry to go and sort out the engine sooner than planned and we are so glad we came on the course!

I am sorry not to have sent a message straight away to let you know that I thought that the Diesel Engine Course was excellent. Les was very good, and patient with us. I learnt a lot, and now feel more confident. I have found the engine manual which was hiding on board my boat with a pile of other stuff, and in fact I have now found a box with most of the spares for the Volvo 55 that I might need. I will get all the other things, and then hopefully will have no problems on the sail round to the mediterranean in August.

David Macfarlane - RYA Diesel Engine Course
The RYA Diesel Course run by Emsworth School of Navigation was an amazingly packed day. Our tutor Les Cox ran through the systems he would be covering and I wondered if this would be too technical for me but he went through every part of the specification in a methodical way and we were able to handle and study the smaller engine parts. Les soon had us changing filters, checking the impeller, checking and fitting the drive belt, bleeding the fuel system, battery management, replacing a temporary head gasket and discussing fuel management. Having a ratio of 1 tutor to 5 students meant we had some personal tuition and were able to share our experiences. I really enjoyed this course and think it was great value for money.
