RYA Coastal Skipper Practical
Description

The RYA Coastal Skipper Practical Course prepares those with previous skippering experience to undertake longer voyages. Skippering a yacht on coastal and offshore passages demands strong navigation, seamanship and leadership skills.

During the Coastal Skipper Practical Course your instructor will guide you through navigation in good and limited visibility, weather forecasting and passage planning, watch keeping and preparation for sea. The RYA Coastal Skipper Practical Course puts this all in practice as each student plans and executes longer passages taking complete command of the yacht. Coastal Skippers must be good boat handlers and you will receive plenty of practice mooring the yacht in a wide variety of situations.

RYA Coastal Skipper candidates live aboard the boat for the 5 days of the course visiting many different harbours and anchorages and have at least 4 hours night sailing. Whether permitting the yacht will undertake a longer coastal passage.
