So you’ve done your RYA Day Skipper. But what next?...

...We get asked that question regularly - hence this weekend! Maybe you did the Day Skipper a while ago and haven’t had a chance to do much sailing since or maybe you have done it recently and are looking to reinforce what you have learnt.

Day Skipper Next Steps -
Complete Breakdown fb

This weekend is all about refreshing your knowledge and building on and finessing what you have already learnt. We will cover some boat handling techniques like turning the boat around in a tight space and springing off. Of course, we will practice man over board under sail and power and we will look at ways to actually recover the person in the water when you have got back to them. We will go over tidal streams and tidal height calculations, pilotage in and out of a couple of places. We’ll also cover giving a safety brief and engine checks. Plus anything specific that you would like to cover.

The weekend is aimed at really consolidating what you will have already learnt on your Day Skipper course and building confidence.
