COURSE PROGRAM
This one-week practical course is designed for a maximum of 5 students and takes place on the water. Students are accommodated on board. Your crew might be students at Competent Crew level.
A qualified RYA instructor will deliver the course content tailored to the needs of the participants.
Any training week will start with a general introduction and safety brief as well as an outlook over the week. Tuition of any other areas of the syllabus including night sailing will be arranged flexibly according to the weather conditions and learning progress. Please do not plan additional activities. Expect a training week, rather than a cruising holiday.
After the course you will get a qualified debrief about your progress. The exam for the Dayskipper licence will take place on the final day of your practical training.
