RYA Coastal Skipper
The RYA Coastal Skipper course is aimed at the more experienced and ambitious skipper to improve their skills, take charge and learn to make full use of a motor cruiser on longer, more complex passages.
Prior to taking this 5 day practical course it is virtually essential to have completed the Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster shore based navigation course to ensure that time is not wasted teaching theory onboard.
An important aspect of this course is learning to take command and make decisions resulting in relaxed, well planned passages and a happy crew. Don’t expect to coast through without making the occasional error - learn your strengths and weaknesses, and gain knowledge from your mistakes. By the end of the course students should be ready to build on their experience and maybe work towards a Certificate of Competence - ‘Yachtmaster Coastal’
