RYA Competent Crew / Day Skipper -  Theory (Shorebased)

A comprehensive introduction to cruising for crew & inexperienced skippers.

This course equips you with enough knowledge to navigate around familiar waters by day. A basic knowledge of lights is also included to introduce you to night cruising.

The  RYA are continually updating their courses to take into account developments in technology and the electronic navigation aids now available on most cruising boats.

In conjunction with the UK Hydrographic Office the RYA have developed a chart plotter specifically for use on training courses, giving you a realistic insight into electronic navigation. Use of this plotter is an integral part of our Day Skipper shorebased course.

The course is taught over a minimum of 40 hours with two exam papers. It can be covered as an evening class or a series of short sessions, as an intensive course, or combined with a practical course
