One of our members, Martin Humphreys, can offer formal and certified RYA sailing courses at the club.  Below is a summary of what can be offered.

​

Essential Navigation and Seamanship Course 2 Day

A basic introduction to navigation and safety for anyone new to boating: sailors, powerboaters, sea anglers, divers and boatmasters. Also useful for experienced dinghy and keelboat sailors and inshore racers.

​

Day Skipper Theory Course - 5 Day

A comprehensive introduction to chartwork navigation meteorology and the basics of seamanship. Invaluable for learning how to start making decisions on board and if you are considering taking the Day Skipper practical course.

 

Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore Theory Course - 6 Day

Ideal for candidates for the Coastal Skipper practical course & Yachmaster Offshore exam. Some revision of the Day Skipper shorebased course plus more advanced skills in offshore & coastal navigation by day & night, pilotage & meteorology.

 

Experience: Day skipper theory or equivalent will be required as this follows on from Day skipper knowledge.
