RYA Competent Crew

DESIGNED FOR: The RYA Competent Crew Course is for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members. The course gives you the chance to live on board and really get to know a boat.

By the end of the course you should be able to steer, handle sails, keep a lookout, row a dinghy and assist in all the day to day duties on board. During the course we explore beautiful unspoilt coves each lunchtime.
