Facts about our Day Skipper Courses.
- Our RYA Courses are run over 7 days. 5 days tuition and the latter days spent sailing without the instructor on board!
- The instructor will sleep on board some but not all nights. Yachts are fully equipped and maintained to a very high standard.
- Our RYA Day Skipper courses are personalised to meet the needs and expectations of you and your crew. We cover the RYA syllabus, and often the courses a run with a group of friends of family who then continue to charter the yacht for a further period. We have the confidence that at the end of a sucessful Day Skipper Course you will feel confident to take a yacht in our area bareboat without an instructor.
- Our RYA Day Skipper courses are limited to a maximum of four people per course which allows for individual attention to each person on board. Often there are only two or three on board giving so much more learning potential to our students.
- Our approach to Day Skipper and Competent Crew courses is professional and fun. We follow the RYA course content, but still make your training very enjoyable. We want everyone of feel comfortable and free to learn, practice and build confidence throughout the week.
- RYA Day Skipper courses and Competent Crew courses are all run on slab reefing and appropriately sized yachts which no more than 4 seasons old.
- RYA Day Skipper Courses teach you all the skills needed to safely skipper a yacht in familiar non-tidal waters by day.
- We teach mixed abilities on the same yacht so if you have a crew which would like to do Competent Crew, and some Day Skipper this is possible and works very sucessfully.
Some of the things you will learn in our RYA day skipper courses are: Boat handling in non-tidal waters - Basic pilotage - Man Overboard Procedures - Anchoring and stern mooring - Different Mooring Techniques - Sail Trim - Night Sailing - Seamanship and navigation - Safety and much more.
