RYA Day Skipper Fast Track Sailing Course
The RYA Day Skipper Fast Track Course is designed to teach students to assume full responsibility for the yacht and its crew. This is the ideal course for anyone about to buy their own yacht. Students should ideally have attained Competent Crew level ability or have the necessary experience. The Fast Track course starts on a Saturday morning for 2 days theory tuition in the classroom in Lymington. This is followed by 5 days practical tuition aboard our yacht SeaJay. The course concludes with 2 days further theory tuition in the classroom, ending Sunday afternoon. In the Theory section of the course, students are taught the basics of coastal and inshore navigation, pilotage, chartwork, position fixing, plotting a course, weather forecasting, an understanding of tides, IRPCS - International Regulations for Prevention of Collision at Sea. You will also be taught yacht types and the equipment they carry, safety procedures such as distress calls, use of flares, safety harnesses, life jackets and liferafts. The course includes a general assessment paper as well as one on chart work. You may need your own accommodation during the Theory section of the course. In the Practical section of this Fast Track course you will skipper the yacht on short passages in the Solent and there will be much emphasis on boat handling and navigation. Day Skipper students stay aboard Sea Jay during the practical course. You will visit different harbours and anchorages to practice pilotage techniques. You will also complete at least 4 night hours sailing to experience night pilotage and identify navigation lights. The course aims to provide you with the skill and confidence required to undertake a short passage in tidal waters as the skipper and be able to berth the boat safely. On successful completion of this course, you will receive: Certificates: RYA Day Skipper + Day Skipper Theory
