Testimonials
"My wife and I had a very enjoyable sail for several hours with Barry in the Carrick
Roads between Loe Beech and Mylor. We were both complete novices and my wife was
very nervous of a stiff breeze and on a 14ft boat.This apprehension evaporated
because of the experience, calmness and proffessional expertise of Barry.The
photograph shows how relaxed my wife became!.We also had the good fortune to catch a
Pollock!."

"The time spent sailing with Barry Wheelock gave me the key skills and confidence to then be able to enjoy sailing on my own safely and responsibly. I would recommend him as a patient and thorough teacher."

"Until I met Barry over a pint at Pandora’s Inn, I really thought you had to be a skilled and knowledgeable sailor in order to actually sail, especially as I had just turned 60. So when he said '' come on I’ll show you now'', I thought why not. Within 15 minutes we were walking down the jetty, Barry was handing me a life jacket and we jumped into his beautiful wood varnished dinghy. It was a sunny breezy afternoon and with Barry at the helm we were soon skimming across the bay and the sensation of speed was amazing.
When we turned round to come back Barry said ''now it’s your turn to sail''. After showing me exactly where to sit and hold the rope and rudder we set off. It was like driving a racing car. Very stimulating. Barry taught me so many simple points like where to steer to by focusing on a land point etc. I was astonished how easy it was to pick up the wind. After four daily sessions I was able to sail on my own. It was great to have such a jovial and expert coach. Cannot wait to go back when the weather gets a bit warmer!
Thank you, Barry, for giving me such an exciting new hobby and a great way to have a holiday with a difference."

"Wow! What fun it was, lovely sunny day, whizzing along, even saw a beautiful seal only feet away. I knew how to sail a bit but having Barry with me helped me regain my confidence. We landed on a beach and sunbathed for an hour or so while having a glass of wine (several!) and some lunch."

"Despite inclement weather, Barry provided my 12 and 9-year old sons, as well as me, with a wonderful introduction to the pleasures of his delightful wooden sailing boat as well as the lovely Cornish coast. Barry’s support and encouragement for the boys has led to a real interest in learning to sail by the elder one and I'm quite keen to follow up myself. All in all, we had a fascinating, fun, inspirational and thoroughly enjoyable time. Recommended."
