TRAINEE  TESTIMONIALS
 

Quotes from Trainees who sailed in the North West Europe Tall Ships races from Bermuda, this last summer:

William Halliday  sailed on the Christian Raddich, a Norwegian training ship,  this summer from Bergen to Den Helder.  “Perhaps next year, on the 400^th anniversary of Sir George Somers'  setting foot here in Bermuda, we can all feel the same connection as a family that I felt on the ship, no matter our origin, and remember how our ancestors overcame the hardships of their voyage to reach our beautiful island.  This is an experience I will never forget, and I hope that many more choose to undertake such a voyage.”

Matthew Hollis sailed on De Gallant, a Dutch sail training ship, this summer from Maloy to Bergen. “Two months ago I had never been to Europe, never sailed on a Tall Ship, never eaten warm buttered bread covered in chocolate sprinkles for breakfast.   As it turns out, this is a Dutch delicacy.  For me, the 2008 Tall Ships Race was truly a voyage of discovery.   I have no reservations when I claim that it was by far the most fun I have ever had in my life, and I will recommend the experience to anyone.”
