New world sailing - Rob Gibson's sailing consultancy

Rob Gibson, New World Sailing’s principal, has a lifetime’s experience of Sailing Cruisers and Racing Yachts of all sizes.

Having sailed family cruisers since 1978, and spent fourteen years owning and operating a sailing school with a fleet of six cruising and racing yachts, he has bought and sold more yachts than most and will use that experience to help you through the process of buying the boat of your dreams, teach you to operate it, and if required, manage it for you.

Rob and his team are all qualified RYA Instructors and Examiners with a wealth of experience of Cruising and Racing yachts and their use. They have all crossed oceans, sailed in most parts of the globe, and spent years at sea delivering first class instruction to countless beginner sailors and experienced racing teams.
