- "Jaz was the obvious choice of sailing coach after a very succesful week racing the Scottish Series earlier this year, where his leadership, clarity of tuition and determination to succeed shone through with excellent results for us all."
- "Thanks for all your help and company over the weekend. It was a valuable experience for everyone. From discussions with the group it seems that everyone liked your style of combining a certain emotional calmness with clear and decisive communication. For my part I think I learned how much I still have to learn."
- "Jaz delivered the first phase of coaching with extreme focus, constructive feedback and great professionalism."
- "Jaz has directed us towards resources, introduced us to contacts and researched on behalf of us across the UK to ensure a cost effective, productive and highly efficient training programme that has developed limited sailing experience into noticeable improvements in techniques and tactics on the water."
- "Jaz's style has encouraged rapid skills development and increased confidence."
- "A very big thank you for all of the time and effort you have so clearly put into this project."
- .. we raced "at Poole Yacht Club last night and came first over the line and second on handicap out of 12 boats in Class 3. I have been racing in this Class for two seasons and this is by far the best result I have ever achieved as some of the top racers in our Club and indeed the South Coast are in this fleet.
We were able to apply many aspects learnt from our course and indeed feel we have yet to fully implement a number of the elements into our racing. We were able to increase our boat speed, race in clean air and keep boat speed in the tacks. For the first time I had a course strategy and followed it along with a start which left most of the fleet for dead. Our race was but no means faultless but if anything this is even more heartening as we only flew the kite for half the downwind leg as it was not even rigged due to an engine fault getting to the start. The best part of the race was overtaking the leader to leeward on the final beat home - they were overpowered and sailing with weather helm and we were better trimmed and flatter.
Cannot thank you enough for helping me to enjoy the last evening race of this season and for establishing that it was not my boat that was uncompetitive. I was considering selling my boat before this race as I felt she was not competitive enough in our club or at Cowes or Round The Island but now I am going to persevere."
- "Belated thanks for the coaching. Feedback has been really postive and it helped us all.... We used a lot of your training techniques at the weekend- talking honestly and resolving issues as a team and taking team responsibility which really worked.... Thanks Jazz, you personally made a big difference to my mind set and confidence and it showed in my bow work."
- "....I'm not sure we tell you enough that we just wouldn't be here without everything you have done for us. Can't thank you enough."
