RYA Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Theory

Duration: 6 Days

Course Aim: RYA Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Theory

Minimum Standard: Applicants must have the RYA competent crew/day skipper theory certificate or equivalent (see RYA Logbook G15) and a sound knowledge of international regulations for prevention of collision at sea, flag signals and VHF operator procedures.

This intensive 6-day course is intended for those with some practical experience of cruising. It is a more advanced study of navigation and meteorology which is designed to be interesting, enjoyable and achievable.

Our staff will coach you through the more complex elements of calculating tidal heights, making offshore passages, piloting a yacht safely and understanding and using the weather to best advantage.

The course completion certificate is recognised by the Department of Transport as part of the requirement for the Coastal Skipper Certificate of Competence and the level of knowledge required is essential to those who aspire to becoming qualified Yachtmasters.

There will be work to be completed in the evenings. At the end of the course there will be three test papers in Collision Regulations, Meteorology and Navigation to be completed.
