RYA 9 Day Combined Theory and Practical Day Skipper Course

This course runs Saturday morning, though the week and finishes the following Sunday, which means you only need take 5 days off work.

The first 4 days are spent in the classroom where you learn the basics of navigation, meteorology and the rule of the road. Then it's off to sea for 5 days to put what you've leant in the classroom into practice plus all the practical skills necessary to skipper a small yacht by day including: preparation for sea; deck work; pilotage; engine checks; emergency situations; passage making; handling under & power.
