This course is aimed at the more experienced sailor or motor cruiser building upon the knowledge gained in the Dayskipper course. Many of the topics are similar, but explore subjects in greater depth. Essential knowledge for everyone considering taking the practical RYA Yachtmaster course. The subjects covered will include: Passage Planning; Identification of Lights and Shapes; Coastal Navigation; Meteorology and Pilotage.
At Bisham Abbey we run the Yachtmaster course over FIVE days either taken over two and a half alternate weekends or intensively over five consecutive days . Course numbers are small and often we will have two instructors to the group. RYA course pack included in the fee.
Over recent years we have developed a variety of teaching aids to enable us to make your theory course as interesting as possible. A range of books is also available for you to peruse and purchase at the School during your course if you wish.
All you need to bring is a pair of dividers and a Portland type plotter. We do not provide these but can order them for you, if you wish, for the start of the course. You will also need to complete and obtain a VHF Radiotelephony (SRC) Licence which, of course, we can help you with.
Hours daily are 0900 - 1700hrs. Please bring a packed lunch.
