Description
RYA COMPETENT CREW: THE DEVON EPIC DARTMOUTH TO DARTMOUTH Join Dream Odyssey for an extended six-night RYA Competent Crew course and coastal sailing adventure, starting and finishing in Dartmouth. You’ll explore the stunning Devon and Cornwall coastlines, discovering beautiful harbours, sheltered anchorages and spectacular coastal scenery along the way. No previous sailing experience is required. You’ll work towards your RYA Competent Crew qualification while enjoying a relaxed yet rewarding sailing holiday, with more time aboard than on a standard five-day course. It is also ideal for anyone with sailing experience who wants to refresh their skills, build miles and enjoy some great coastal cruising. Join Dream Odyssey in Dartmouth at 4pm on Sunday 27 June 2027, where introductions, preparation and passage planning will begin. We’ll then set off to explore the south-west coast, before returning to Dartmouth to disembark at 4pm on Saturday 3 July 2027. Possible destinations and stops along the way include Brixham, Salcombe, the River Yealm and Fowey, with plenty of opportunities for scenic anchorages and time to explore ashore. The precise route and overnight stops will be determined by the skipper, taking account of the weather, tides and conditions during the passage. Keep an eye out for dolphins along the way! TRANSPORT Dartmouth is accessible by car or by train and connecting bus. Totnes railway station has good rail connections, with onward bus services to Dartmouth. Starting and finishing in Dartmouth also makes this a convenient option for those travelling by car. WHAT IS INCLUDED Your fee includes use of the yacht, tuition from an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor, marina fees during the passage, fuel and gas, accommodation aboard, use of waterproof jackets and salopettes, lifejackets, and all breakfasts, lunches, snacks, tea and coffee. Four evening meals aboard are also included. On the other two evenings, the crew will eat ashore at their own expense, choosing together where they would like to eat. EARLY BOOKING AND PAYMENT The total cost of this extended course is £1,250. Deposit is £300. A further installment of £300 is due 19 weeks before departure, with the final balance payable 10 weeks before departure.
