RYA Coastal Skipper

The Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster practical course provides an advanced level of theoretical and practical knowledge for those wishing to undertake coastal passages by day and night.

The main theory content of the course is the same as for Day Skipper and the Day Skipper Shorebased course and without this background knowledge students will find it difficult to undertake the course.

Some provision is made for revision of the basic navigational skills and theory taught in Day Skipper.

The course runs over 5 days applying theoretical knowledge on the sea to undertake passages and learn practical sailing skills.

'ESTE' our Jeanneau Sunlight sailing boat is the base from which the training is conducted. She comfortably sleeps 4 candidates and is a superb training base from which to operate.
