SHOREBASED COURSES The focus of the shorebased course is you! The
basis of our courses is student focus with lots of hands on
practice navigating and completing exercises using the charts and is aimed to
be a social class. The Day Skipper is a must! It starts
from scratch with navigation, weather, safety and is
suitable for both experienced sailors who want to brush up, or fill in the
gaps in their basic knowledge and for those new to boating and planning to
take a boat on the water, especially if you are responsible for other people. The Coastal Skipper/yachtmaster
moves on from the Day Skipper qualification and brings into place the more
intricate forms of navigation and seamanship used in longer passages. Click here for availability and prices: calendar TO BOOK OR DISCUSS YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
