RYA Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Shorebased Theory Course
This is an advanced course aimed towards students who wish to skipper a yacht on longer coastal passages or who are working towards taking the Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster Offshore practical exams. It requires knowledge equivalent to the Day Skipper Shorebased Theory Course and some practical experience is also recommended.
The Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Theory Course covers advanced navigation techniques, tides including secondary port calculations, GPS and chart plotters, meteorology including weather prediction by observation all of which will be used when planning and undertaking a passage. Additionally you will learn the collision regulations in detail.
The standard course is run over 5 days or 2 and a 1/2 weekends from 9.00am to 5.30pm. Towards the end of the course you will be given three assessment papers to complete, the first on meterology, the second on chartwork and the third on the collision regulations on which you will need to get over 80% to pass. It is therefore highly recommended that you revise the Rules of the Road before attending the course and that you brush up on your chartwork in order to get the most out of the teaching time. We can also run this course to suit your individual needs (see the link to bespoke courses).
All equipment to complete the course will be provided. You just need to bring a notepad. Tea and coffee is included and you can get lunch from the village which is a short walk away. Alternatively we can order sandwiches etc in for you.
To help our students after the course you will be provided with a post course revision pack based together with a service to answer your queries by e-mail.
