Description
This RYA Coastal Skipper course with Academy Sailing includes an exciting opportunity: a full coastal passage from Burnham-on-Crouch in Essex all the way to Lymington in the Solent. It’s a journey packed with variety, challenge and real-world decision-making - the perfect environment to earn this advanced practical qualification. The RYA Coastal Skipper course is often considered one of the most rewarding stages in the RYA Cruising Scheme. It builds on and sharpens the navigation, passage-planning and boat-handling skills learned at Day Skipper level, taking you to the next stage of confidence and capability. This course stretches you in all the right ways and is designed to transform your seamanship, giving you the techniques and judgement required to skipper a cruising yacht safely on coastal passages, by day and by night. To join this course you need to already have achieved competence to RYA Day Skipper level, and RYA Yachtmaster theory.
