Another year passes by

Its December already, where did the year go?
Well to begin with it started with return flights from the Caribbean and Xmas in the UK, before flying back to Spain to finish El Rubicon's dry docking and prepare her for the coming season which kicked off in March and has remained pretty much non-stop until now. New sails were fitted and our Yachtmaster Fastrack students got to grips with the yacht on the Costas Blanca and Calida before heading out to Ibiza and then onto the Costa de la Luz and Portuguese Algarve before sitting the coveted Yachtmaster Exam.
It was always our intention to relocated the sailing school and now it was time to rename from Mar Menor Sea School to Go-n-sail which avoids tying us to an area. Re-branding done it was time to complete additional research into the area before returning to the Mar Menor and our popular charter season and sailing trips in Mazarron. The summer passed in the blink of an eye and once we had exhibited at the Southampton Boat-Show it was time to set sail again for Ayamonte, our new home.
We are settling in nicely and still very much finding our way round our new area, it continues to impress us and it appears that we have chosen our new venue wisely. One of the immediate problems of finding yourself in a new area is that all previous business contacts go out the window and you find yourself alone. Choosing a place to leave El Rubicon for a couple of months was not easy but we settled on the Nave Pegos or more commonly known Bruces's yard at Faro, which apart from the unusual and very shallow approach seems to tick all the box's for us. We are now taking a month or so off to recharge our batteries before returning to complete our winter routine maintenance and putting the boat back in the water.
We are not expecting to resume sail training before mid February but will be raring to go as demand picks up and the weather warms again, even in the last few days of November we were flying the Crusinig chute as we sailed along the Algarve in the sun, the days are still warm but the nights are somewhat chillier, even still it proves it is possible to sail in Ayamonte year round.

Cracking start to 2013

With the World in turmoil and economic gloom from every press release, 2013 was always going to be a testing year, after an uncertain start things are looking up and this year could be our best yet. With new sails, fantastic winds and a healthy booking sheet we could not ask for a better start, as the UK and most of Europe is under snow we are sailing in shorts and fleece.
In order to satisfy demand for tidal sailing we have decided to relocate to Ayamonte on the Spanish Portuguese border from the end of September after the Southampton Boat show and the summer charter season in Mazarron.

With demand for tidal sail training on the rise and we are having another research trip in April until June before commiting to the area on a permanent basis. The Sailing School may have changed its name from Mar Menor Sea School to go-n-sail and we are swapping the Mar Menor for the Atlantic tidal waters of the Spanish Algarve but it is still us and little else has changed.

We still offer low student instructor ratios of 3:1 some of the lowest in the Industry, professional and personal tuition, home cooked food and great value sailing courses, in fact we believe the move will be very positive and infact improve the quality of tuition.

From September RYA sailing courses will be available for all levels from beginner to advanced in tidal waters year round so we hope you can join us in our new home, if you wish to find out more about how you can book a space on our unique training weeks and gain RYA qualifications, just pick up the phone and dial 0872 426 0837 (UK cheap call) or 00 34 695 326 184 from Spain.

We are here to help every step of the way
Go-n-sail your complete RYA training centre.

New for 2013

2013 is looking like a big year for us, we have changed the name of Mar Menor Sea School to go-n-sail in order to accommodate a relocation in September to our new tidal base in Ayamonte. The new go-n-sail site has been launched and we will be once again attending the Southampton Boat-Show. So please come along and say Hello you can find us on stand J105 in the Mayflower Hall.
