There is not much that Peter doesnacutet know about boats having been sailing and involved with boats all of his life.p pItacutes as if he were born with a mainsheet in one hand and a tiller in the other.p pOne of our students once said of Peter "Itacutes as if he were born with the mainsheet in one hand and the tiller in the other".p pBy the age of twelve, Peter was a competitive dinghy sailor and at the age of twenty-one became a professional Skipper of large sailing yachts, and has gained a wealth of experience sailing in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean including several transatlantic passages between the two.p pFor the last 17 years, Peter has been teaching RYA sailing courses on a full-time basis.p pLorie, originally with a corporate background in IT, is also a fully qualified RYAMCA Yachtmaster Ocean and teaches shorebased courses. A former Cruising Instructor with over 10,000 miles under her belt, Lorie has now hung up her sailing boots temporarily to raise a family.p pLorie is responsible for administration and will be more than happy to book your course or charter, arrange any shorebased accommodation you may need and help you with any queries you might have. She will ensure everything runs smoothly for you from the time you arrive until the time you leave for your journey home. All you need to arrange yourself is your flights (click here for flight links) and travel insurance.p pThe school is based in the marina of Vila Real de Santo Antonio, just a 40 minute drive from Faro airport and situated right on the PortugueseSpanish border on the bank of the stunningly beautiful river Guadiana. The marina is right in the heart of Vila Real de Santo Antonio and so enjoys ample facilities including showers, restaurants, shops, banks and free car parking.

Gibraltar, Morocco and the Mediterranean are just round the corner providing great variety for our milebuilding weeks.p
