Day Skipper Shore-based Course Options: 5 Day Intensive Course 3 Weekends |
Previous knowledge or experience: None essential but some sailing experience (eg a competent crew course) is very desirable. This classroom course teaches you basic seamanship, chartwork, basic navigation in tidal waters, pilotage, weather, 'rules of the road' and how to take care of a yacht and crew. You must know this material before tackling any practical skippering courses. Note that if you already have some navigational knowledge you could consider going straight to the Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Shore-based Course and then continue with Day Skipper Practical training. We recommend that you discuss this with an instructor first. Achievement: You will acquire the basic tools you need for safe navigation of a yacht in tidal waters. Next Step: Day Skipper Practical Course where you will learn how
to apply these tools in the real environment.
