Every British Airways pilot that flies into Gibraltar is a highly skilled guy called Nigel. Tonight he skilfully leaves Gibraltar on BA 493 with a bunch of happy, successful Day Skipper students.

Well... a lovely bit of feedback for one of our 'home grown' instructors!

Dear Jolly Parrot Sailing team,

I am writing to formally commend Richard E for the outstanding instruction he delivered on the RYA Competent Crew course I attended in Gibraltar, starting on Tuesday 22 September 2026.

Richard is a phenomenal instructor. He was as much a coach as he was a teacher: patient, calm and supportive, while bringing expert knowledge to every part of the course. He not only transferred skills but built real confidence in every member of the crew.

The days were long and demanding, and Richard put us through our paces throughout. He pushed each crew member, whatever their starting point, to build the best possible skills. Nothing in the RYA syllabus was skipped or rushed; every element was covered thoroughly and to a high standard.

What struck me most was how he set the tone from the very first briefing. Before a rope was touched, he made clear the standards, values and accountability he expected on board. That is what allowed 3 strangers to come together as an effective crew so quickly. In my role as Head of People, I see how rare, and how valuable, that kind of leadership is.

I would highly recommend both Richard and Jolly Parrot Sailing to anyone looking to train with the RYA, and I would be glad to act as a reference.

Please pass on my personal thanks to Richard. He made the week both challenging and rewarding, and I am grateful for it.

Yours sincerely,

Craig C

The fear of hacking has made some people turn to other forms of technology ignored by new generations of cyber criminals.
