This season’s courses will start in the first week of October. Subject to numbers, we will use a room at one of the locally based community centres, with Day Skipper running on a Tuesday, and Yachtmaster on a Thursday. The course runs for some 23 weeks.
We adjust the cost of the course to suit numbers attending, but typically it will be in the region of £240 per head. The course materials and books will cost between £60 & £80.
The Day Skipper is aimed at the complete beginner, and teaches the basics of navigation, seamanship, weather, safety and rules of the road.
Yachtmaster is for the more experienced sailor, and expands on the navigation knowledge, the full IRPCS, and includes extensive Meteorology.
Both courses include Electronic navigation to the appropriate level.
