Course Progression Plan

RYA Courses are internationally recognized. They form part of a scheme that is a tried and tested method of sail training. The RYA Sail Training Scheme is designed so that you can enter into it at the level most suitable to you depending on your previous experience.


Start Yachting Practical Course This is a two day course on a yacht that gives you a very basic introduction to sailing. It is rare that we run these courses but we do occasionally. Contact us for dates.	Essential Navigation & Seasmanship Theory Course This is an online course and covers basic nagivation and safety useful for RIB drivers, sea anglers, divers and dinghy sailors. If you are unsure about doing a Day Skipper Theory course this could be for you.


Competent Crew Practical Course This course takes place on a yacht and is perfect for begginers or those that have done a little bit of sailing. You will learn a tremendous amount and it will transform you into a useful crew member. As with all the practical courses you sleep on board.	Day Skipper Theory Course A very interesting course that is all classroom based. It gives a comprehensive introduction to chart work, navigation, metorology. No experience of sailing is required. Also suitable for those who have done a fair bit of sailing but not much actual tidal navigation.
