Courses also held around the West Coast of Scotland Principal: David Leaver RYA/MCA Ocean Yachtmaster Instructor (Sail & motor cruising.) What is different about us?
Most schools run their training courses on board 32 - 38 ft yachts with five students and the Instructor, meaning space is at a premium, and teaching time is restricted. With us at HIMT - four students and a large 43ft Ocean cruising yacht provide plenty of space and time for a really high standard of tuition to be provided.
You will be principally taught by David Leaver, an experienced sailor and mariner with an enormous amount of sea time, who is totally familiar with the waters and the conditions of the West Coast of Scotland. We hope to provide a mature, considered and caring approach to the way we introduce our students to the skills needed to cope safely with learning to sail a yacht.
Our vessel is well kept, spacious and equipped to modern standards. We do not fill our yacht to capacity but keep to a maximum of four students for practical courses.
Private tuition for both sail and motor cruising is available with David who is a RYA/MCA Ocean Yachtmaster Instructor for sail and motor cruising and also an Advanced Powerboat Instructor. He has over 270,000 miles of experience as skipper of small vessels.
The sailing area is the best in the world - lovely islands, special harbours and if you want - no crowds, unlike the Solent and Clyde - with isolated anchorages and wonderful scenery as a backdrop to your training.
