The images on this page are all taken during the recent 6 week training course run as part of a pilot scheme by Taymara. These images are not intended to provide a timeline illustration of the course, but we hope that they do show the depth of committment towards the training programme given by both the trainees and instructors, some of the rewards and, not least, the satisfaction and enjoyment experienced by all who participated in the scheme.

We would like to thank all the trainees for their commitment, enthusiasm, good humour and also for their willingness to offer their very positive input towards our future training programmes. We look forward to sailing with them should they wish to continue as regular members of MVS Tay.

Once on the helm, Larry never lets his attention wander, while still communicating with both skipper and navigator- one sign of a good helmsman in a busy wheelhouse full of distractions..
