5-Day RYA Competent Crew Course:
Mylor, Falmouth
Comprehensive Introduction to Yachting
The 5-day RYA Competent Crew course offers a comprehensive introduction to yachting, complete with 5 nights of accommodation onboard the yacht. This course is perfect for beginners, requiring no previous sailing experience, and is designed to be both fun and educational. You’ll receive informative instruction that will equip you with the skills to become a valuable crew member.
Practical, Hands-On Experience
The RYA Competent Crew course is designed to make you just that. Rather than sitting in the cockpit while things happen around you, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to be an active crew member; able to helm a vessel under motor and sail, understand the various parts of the boat and rigging including rope work and winch use, have a practical understanding of Man Over Board recovery and generally go from being along for the ride to being a safe and useful crew member. Other topics we will cover include; meteorology, tides, emergency situations and fire fighting, personal safety kit, boat safety kit, sea sickness and general duties.
Small Group Sizes for Personalised Instruction
We limit our group size to 4 on our advertised courses so you will get plenty of time at the helm and be sure of lots of tuition from our instructors. For private courses you are able to bring 5 people if you wish.
Combined Courses and Continued Practice
The RYA courses are designed to run combined with other courses in the same scheme, so a Competent Crew course will often run with a Day Skipper course.
Unsure what course is best for you?
Both of our RYA sailing courses provide invaluable experiences to enhance your sailing knowledge, awareness, and safety on board. The right course for you depends on your current skill level and understanding. Visit our overview on the differences between the two courses.
