It covers essential topics such as sea terms, boat parts, rigging, sail handling, ropework, fire precautions, personal safety equipment, man overboard procedures, emergency equipment, meteorology, seasickness management, helmsmanship, and general duties.
For those with some experience, the RYA Day Skipper course is an intermediate program designed to teach the skills needed to skipper a yacht in familiar waters during the day. This includes pilotage, boat handling under sail and motor, deck work, practical navigation, boat maintenance, handling emergency situations, passage making, and night cruising.
Additionally, we offer advanced courses such as the RYA Coastal Skipper and RYA Yachtmaster courses for those looking to further enhance their sailing expertise.
