RYA DaySkipper shore-based navigation course
The course is fun with a wide syllabus which is similar to the Yachtmaster course syllabus. As such Dayskipper is also suitable for experienced sailors and where applicable the more rigorous requirements of the Yachtmaster subject matter will be individually addressed, for example the specific calculation of secondary port tide heights.
Course content includes Compass and chart navigation; GPS and Plotter navigation; Tide flows and heights; Anchoring and mooring principles; Buoyage; Lights; Rules of the road (the seagoing code); Safety and rescue at sea; Pilotage (getting out and in); Passage planning; Weather.
A wide syllabus which benefits from involvement with others and at a relaxed pace.
