Bettina Glocker, freelance“It's a real pleasure for me to recommend Phillip Jahans. He's an authentic and trustworthy seaman in every aspect. He doesn't talk about seamanship, he lives seamanship and gives practical example. If he calls for crew, the only question I ask "Which port is our meeting point?"”
