Couldn't ask for a better captain!
I spent three months crewing on Jeds boat, and could not have asked for a better captain. We had lots of fun, laughter and adventures along with some excellent sailing. Jeds confidence and his enthusiasm for life is contagious – you can’t help but have a good time! I’ve made memories to last a lifetime. The boat is spacious and well equipped which made my stay very comfortable. Jed picked an excellent selection of crew over the winter which just enhanced the experienced even more, and led to some great friendships. I learnt a lot from Jed, and his patience deserves an award as he explained anything I needed help with – including practicing my bowline a million times! If you get the opportunity to sail with Jed, grab it with both hands!
