RYA Basic Navigation & Safety Course

The Basic Navigation & safety Course is a two day classroom based introductory course. It is aimed towards anyone new to sailing, power-boating, sea angling and diving as well as those experienced in dinghy and keel boat sailing. It gives students an awareness and knowledge of basic navigation techniques and safety in a relaxed environment and covers the key areas that anyone who goes out in a boat should be aware of such as:

Additionally most boats no longer solely use traditional means of navigation and therefore electronic navigation including the use of the electronic chart plotter is included in this course.

By the end of the two days you will know how to get safely between two nearby harbours during the day in good weather and will have had experience of preparing a passage plan.

For boat owners this course is complemented by the VHF Radio Course and the RYA Diesel Engine Course.

Powerboaters may be interested in combining the RYA Basic Navigation & Safety course with the Helmsmans practical which can be completed over four consecutive days. The practical training will be carried out by Motorcats Ltd on a Motorcat MC30.
