RYA Day Skipper

A Day Skipper should have the skills and knowledge needed to be in charge of a small yacht at Sea, in familiar waters by day, and to be able to take a crew of lesser experienced people out safely and bring them back.

The Shorebased course is suitable for Motor Yachtsmen as well as those who prefer to go to Sea under sail.
