RYA Start Yachting and Competent crew combined over 5 Consecutive Days

This course is for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers.

Experience living on board and really get to know the boat. Virtually all the course is hands-on. You are the crew - without you, the sails won't go up and the boat won't be steered.

By the end of the course, you should be able to steer, handle sails, keep a lookout, row a dinghy, and assist in all the day-to-day duties on board. You should also have visited some interesting places and had an enjoyable holiday.

On successful completion of the 5 days start yachting and competent crew course combined, you will obtain your full competent crew certificate, which will enable you to sign up for the 5 days Dayskipper Theory course.
