"Lancelot ....she looked after us so very well!!! ARC 2009

What a life changing experience this was for me in so many ways..... Our skipper Jacko was so well experienced together with his mate Mick, both standing in every way no matter what small emergency beset us the problem was solved quickly and efficiently. They pushed the boat as hard as possible which made this a real challenge not just a holiday. We were all out of our comfort zone but with continual praise and encouragement and the odd grabbing of me whilst attached to the life line very nearly going over board, we all gained huge experience and self worth in sailing to the best of our ability and wanting very much to do well for our skipper and mate.

Every one should give this a try in their life time.....you'll never forget it!!!!"

"Dear Andy,

I just thought you would like to know that the BVI Regatta 2010 was a great success. From day one when we stepped on her (spotless by the way) through to the regatta, Jacko was amazing. His organisational skills and leadership were second to none and our party had much fun on the boat. As you perhaps already know, we did well during the regatta, sometimes beating more performant and bigger boats on the water and this was mostly due to Paul and Jacko's incredible racing skills.

It was such a positive trip for us all that we are already planning the next one."

"Sailing with Chris Jackson (Jacko) and Lancelot is always a real pleasure. From the moment you step onboard you know you are in safe hands and will definitely have a great time sailing with them. Jacko is a true professional. He has the unique ability to bridge the gap between being a professional charter skipper providing a safe but fun sailing experience, and a racing skipper who has the ability to mould a group of individuals into a high performing team out on the race track. When this is added to Lancelot you have a winning combination! She is arguably one of the best examples of the Beneteau 40.7 class, impeccably maintained with all the go faster gadgets to put an even bigger smile on your face!"

"Dear Andy

I wanted to drop you a line now that I have returned from sunnier climes and thank you and the Britannia staff for my fantastic ARC experience.

'Lancelot' was perfectly prepared by her skipper and absolutely spotless for our arrival and he worked hard to keep her that way throughout the whole 20 day crossing. I think the only breakage throughout the whole trip was a tin opener! She is quick and well set up as evidenced by our class win- a real high light for me.

Your skipper, Jacko is clearly very experienced and skillful and has a wicked sense of humour as well. He kept the whole crew laughing from start to finish and was keen to teach us as much as we wanted to learn about ocean sailing.

In short, I very much hope to find myself back on board very soon and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company, 'Lancelot' and Jacko to anyone.

Kind Regards, Prue Nash - ARC 2010 Crew Member"
