RYA Day Skipper

AIM

A course for aspiring skippers with some yachting experience and basic navigation and sailing skills.

Learn to skipper a short passage with the instructor on hand to give advice and encouragement and ensure your safety. Experience being in charge, taking credit when it all goes well and being responsible when it doesn’t.

Before this course, if you are not sure that your sailing is up to speed, a good way to learn is on an RYA Level 2 Dinghy sailing course . This will teach you to sail around a course and control the boat’s speed.

If it is help with navigation that you need, you should take our Day Skipper shorebased course .
