We organise Small Group, Hands-on, sailing expeditions with the worlds most experienced skippers. We have adventures for everyone, from 'relaxing' coastal exploration, to stretching adventures and right to epic voyages to incredible destinations like St Helena island and Lüderitz. All our adventures are skippered by people with a true life-time passion for the sea - Wavysail skippers have a minimum of 500,000miles of Ocean experience. We are not a sailing school but our people are often instructors, examiners and ocean racers of distinction. We keep groups small (maximum of 6 per trip) so you have plenty of time and space. We tailor every trip to each person - we will ask your experience level and what you want to get from the adventure - then we will build the trip around you. Wavysail. Live it.

Enjoyed this course very much. A good refresher and learnt new things too. Especially liked that on occasion the course was delivered from a moving boat - all added to the atmosphere!

Thank you Lynn - we really enjoyed having you on the course and look forward to seeing you again soon - perhaps on board "Aurora" itself next time! Wavy
The 10 week course was both well presented and delivered and it is a long time since I have attended a lecture where the time flew by, a testament to the voice and delivery of Wavy. It was informative and easy to follow and full of practical elements that made sense and backed up the theory side of sailing and navigation.

Thank you Richard - I really appreciate your comments and am happy you enjoyed the course! Wavy
Excellent incite for amateur sailers and good revision for clipper crew and anyone taking sailing exams, great job by Davy with clear explanations and thank you to Andrew for making the series possible
David "Wavy" Immelman is an excellent instructor. His experience with Ocean Sailing is very well documented. He is the skipper of the Clipper Round the World Racing Yacht 'Bermuda'. He has a very easy, friendly demeanor which makes learning not only easy, but highly entertaining. In my opinion, he is one of the very best instructors I have ever know all the courses I have taken on sailing.

Hi Rob - thank you so much for this review. It has been a real pleasure to have you on the course and looking forward to sailing with you again soon!
Bite size chunks that are easy to absorb, and explained in clear terms. Wavy has a great deal of experience and sharing it through these webinars is greatly appreciated. A good way to refresh previous learning.
I found this course extremely informative and with Wavy's enthusiasm for sailing, it made the course thoroughly enjoyable.
The detailed content was straight forward to understand, coupled with easy-to-follow examples.
Excellent on-line course - very professionally delivered, supported by simple/effective slides. Lots of practical insight, and a realistic pace to the sessions. Two-hour sessions enable a good amount of detail to be covered, plus weekly homework ensures the opportunity to demonstrate whether the material has been understood - and if needed, Wavy was always happy to follow up any queries. The sessions have been very enjoyable. I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in progressing towards Yachtmaster

Thank you for your kind comments Catherine - look forward to seeing you again soon
Amazing tuition from a world class teacher, sailor and race winning skipper. I have sailed over 25000 miles with Wavy and am honoured to have learnt from him. The WavySail online tuition is a brilliant resource for anyone wishing to learn real sailing knowledge as well as the RYA content.

Heather - thank you so much for your kind and generous review. It's really appreciated.
Very effective approach to explain difficult topics that you need to master as yacht skipper by the master himself (Wavy).
- clear slides and explanation
- good practice activities
- effective debrief
- sufficient time for Q&A
Excellent course delivery with very knowledgeable and professional instruction.
Great courses delivered really well by Wavy who is so passionate about all things sailing. Highly recommend.
Great theory training. Covered key elements at an appropriate pace given the time available, with very clear and simple explanations.
Would recommend.
