May 8 - May 12
RYA Coastal Skipper / Competent CrewOur Coastal Skipper and Competent Crew course. The Competent Crew course is ideal for those new to sailing and gives a great all round introduction to all aspects of yachting. The Competent Crew course running concurrent with Coastal Skipper (as opposed to Day Skipper) is likely to see you take in more sea miles! The Coastal Skipper practical is a course for experienced skippers with navigation and sailing skills. The course will involve passage making with management of watches. Work towards your RYA certificates or just come along for the ride! Five days of intensive tuition on board North Star (fastest training yacht in the north!) to develop your confidence around the boat. Whilst not mandatory we highly recommend those taking their Coastal Skipper practical to have completed the Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster theory course, and if you took it a while ago please brush up! You will be examined on a number of aspects of the theory, and there isn't sufficient time to teach the theory as well. Recommended pre-course experience for Coastal Skipper - 15 days, 300 miles, 8 night hours, 2 days as skipper on board a sailing yacht £ 720 per person. All meals on board, refreshments, marina fees and fuel included. Foul weather gear may be hired separately £ 25 for the week. We cannot guarantee all sizes will be available but will let you know as soon as possible if this is the case. For Booking Form, please email [email protected]Sail Qualification
