PEGASUS & JOHANNA LUCRETIA CREW FEEDBACK HIGHLIGHTS – 2021 

“Don’t be nervous, it’s life changing, challenging but rewarding.” 

What did you learn about yourself?: 

“Resilience, even the bad parts (seasickness) I was able to continue sailing and knew that the team would be there to support and keep us motivated. It…has shown me even more why I should attempt every challenge or experience that comes my way.” 

“Embrace everything – even the bad parts, it just makes the good parts even better and helps you feel more resilient.” 

“Given me more confidence to just dive into challenges. Take every opportunity and dive heads first into challenges with a smile on your face.” 

“Having amazing people in my watch working well together.” 

“Really does increase your social skills and allows you to meet new people.” 

“I’ve gained a lot of confidence.” 

“It was entirely unique from anything I’ve done before. It was informative, fun and challenging. I’ve made memories that I know I will look back on in years to come.” 

“Beyond sailing skills, I have learnt a lot about trust in my own abilities. I have put myself in places outside my comfort zone and come out feeling better for it.” 

All the trainees’ reports were full of praise for the professional skippers and mates. 

All Johanna’s crew said they would have liked the voyage to be longer!
