John Vickers
John has skippered Aislig Bheag since 2002. As a passionate sailing enthusiast since a boy he has sailed extensively around the West Coast of Scotland with the occasional longer foray to the Faeroes, Norway and the Mediterranean. He became a commercially endorsed yachtmaster offshore in the mid 90's in order that he could enjoy passing on his skills and knowledge of the area to others. He particulary enjoys fostering the friendships that build up among the crew and promoting the confidence in their ability to handle the yacht.

“We both very much enjoyed our cruise. The skipper’s knowledge of the local area was excellent and we both learnt from the experience. The sailing was great with a good variety of places to see both during the day or when we stopped for the night”

To Cruise Ecosse Sailors,
Well as we are coming out of a pretty awful spring and getting a hint of summer, one of our skippers -
Eclipse is going to take part in the ARC Europe and will eventually end up down on the Solent. It has been fitted out with all the latest electronic devices including a tracking device that sends satellite signals back of her position so she can be tracked through the whole passage. Again visit the Eclipse part of the www.kemahportal.com web site and you can see how she is getting on.
Terry is due back in Scotland on 8th May and then will be joining John on board for Aislig Bheag to head back up to Oban for the start of the new season
