RYA Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Offshore Theory

6-Day Course

At Yachtmaster level you can enjoy using the skills developed in Day Skipper to plot longer passages. You'll also be able to work out if there will be enough water to stay in those cosy secret anchorages. It looks in more detail at everything, helping you to become more fluent with your chartwork.

Believe it or not, Yachtmaster Theory is actually easier than Day Skipper. But don't delay - you don't want to forget all you've learned!

"I wish I hadn't left it so long between my Day Skipper Theory course and my Yachtmaster course. It would have been much better to have done this the following year," said Doug.

What's new on the Yachtmaster course?

• More exact secondary port calculations to discover secret anchorages
• Calculate if you'll stay afloat through the range of tide - important in our local waters!
• Plan longer & more challenging passages - again a 'must' if you sail in the North West
• Greater knowledge of the collision regulations
• 3 assessment papers to complete during the course; meteorology, chartwork & col. regs.

Yachtmaster Theory is also a great opportunity to learn more about sailing & boating from the North West expert and award-winning instructor, John Parlane. He'll teach you things you just can't learn from books or an online course.
