At World Wide Sailing, quality, service and the pleasure of sailing always come first and the customer is the focus. Be convinced by stories from our satisfied customers. Let’s make the world sail!
Our first contact with Gerke was immediately both fun and constructive!
Initially, we added to our fleet, but now our entire basic instructional fleet consists of WorldWide Sailors… So far, we have had no cost to them and that makes the Association happy.
The WoldWide Sailors are very calming for novice sailors. They soon find that if they happen to accidentally be on the wrong side, nothing crazy happens. As a result, they gain confidence in their boat faster. When they then later switch to a competition optimist, they naturally get a bit nervous and need some getting used to. Even the children with their own boat get into the ‘blue boats’ with a lot of wind and start planing away!

Gerke has been supplying us with Topaz boats for the sailing school fleet since 2001. We sail about 20 Topazes, both the Uno and Race X with gennaker. We also have a number of Topper Vibes and Catamarans 16. I am very satisfied with the build quality of the Toppers and they help us think about how to use them within a sailing school. For De Bird, WorldWide Sailing has been a great partner for years!

We are hugely satisfied with Gerke’s catamarans and service. The personal contact, always helping us come up with solutions, and the enthusiasm also suits our sailing school perfectly, highly recommended!

The WWS company is very professional and efficient. The sailing school boat is very well built and the equipment is of a very good standard – so success is guaranteed.
We are very happy to have found a partner of this level and we are confident that sales in Italy will grow in the coming years.

Kerteminde Sejlklub has been so fortunate to be able to invest in 5 optimists from WW Sailing in spring 2022. During the Corona pandemic we experienced a huge interest from children who was looking for an interest that was not shut down and where they could get some social connection – this is exactly what sailing can do!
Mr. Gerke Smakman was a huge help and 5 dinghies was shipped to Kerteminde in Denmark so we could be prepared an ready for the season 2022.
The boats are perfect, they are easy to handle, lots a space for two or even three new sailors and once they feel safe and secure the can easily handle the boats themselves even though they are new on the water.
It is the perfect long term investment and we are looking forward to many many years in the optimists.
