RYA Day Skipper Shorebased Theory Course
This course, which is essential as preparation for the RYA Day Skipper Practical Course, leads to the RYA Day Skipper Theory Certificate. You do not need to have had any formal training in navigation or sailing to successfully complete this course though if you have no experience you may wish to complete the basic navigation and safety course first. Prior to the course you will receive the RYA course notes which will help you to get in the right frame of mind.
The day skipper theory course is a comprehensive introduction to chartwork, tides and tidal streams, collision regulations, meteorology, the basics of seamanship and electronic navigation including the use of chartplotters and GPS. On successful completion you will have enough knowledge to navigate around familiar waters by day.
The standard course is run over five days which can be completed consecutively or over a series of weekends. On the final day you will be given two assessment papers to complete, the first one being a general paper covering such topics as collision regulations, buoyage, pilotage etc and a second covering chartwork and tides. We can also run this course to suit your 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 provided and you can get lunch from the Village which is a short walk away.
To help our students after the course you will be provided with a post course revision pack based on the course work together with a service to answer your queries by e-mail.
