Theory course

RYA Day Skipper theory

This course is the next step towards becoming your own skipper. It equips you with the knowledge to navigate around familiar waters by day, use tide-tables, create a pilotage plan and plot a course to steer. You will learn the ‘rules of the road’, how to use the correct distress procedures and weather forecasting.

One of the best things about doing the course in a group environment is there is always someone to clarify anything that you may be struggling with, to ask questions and to be honest, it’s far more enjoyable!
