Wetstuff - Charters, Training & Racing from our Gosport base - 

because there is nothing so fine as simply messing around on boats!

ABOUT US

Wetstuff has been formed to provide quality boats for charter, racing and tuition. The two directors have a wealth of experience that they have brought together to help you get the most from your boating.

Our Sailing Director and Chief Instructor is John Wetton. He started sailing while in the Army in 1987 and since then has sailed boats ranging from Optimists right up to square-riggers and ocean-racers. Having sailed in the Baltic, the Med, the Canaries and Trans-Atlantic in addition to UK waters, his experiences together with a "safety first, fun second" approach to teaching will help to ensure you get as much as possible out of your time with us.

Much of his time afloat has involved training of one sort or another. Previous clients have ranged from blue-chip companies, such as Sony, to individuals looking to expand their sailing horizons, and participants in both the Challenge Business and Clipper Around the World Races.

His career has seen him working for outdoor education centres in Kent and Wales, Garmin - world leaders in GPS navigation systems, and for RYA training schools in the UK, Gibraltar and Canaries. Now running Wetstuff he continues to be called upon by other organisations including Clipper Ventures, organisers of the amateur around the world race.

In addition to running RYA courses, John also skippers the majority of our long distance cruises, and our bi-annual Fastnet campaign. He is also available to provide coaching on your own boat.
