RYA Coastal Skipper
5 days: £585
|
The RYA Coastal Skipper, is an advanced 5 day skippering course for yachtsmen and women who have considerable knowledge of sailing and navigation and are usually aspiring towards a Certificate of Competence. We will expect you to have attended the Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster® Offshore shorebased theory course since your instructor will not have time to teach you theory during the week. Coastal Skippers should be able to undertake more difficult passages by day and by night and handle the yacht in more demanding situations. By the end of the course, like the Day Skipper, consists of skippered passages by each of the trainees in a whole variety of situations. It is a satisfying but intensive week and this course will assess and build on your ability to skipper a modern cruising sailing yacht on coastal passages by day and night. |
