RYA Essential Navigation & Seamanship

An introduction to navigation and safety awareness for new, inexperienced or rusty skippers and crew. This course is the perfect introduction or refresher for anyone going afloat on inshore waters, and a stepping stone to the more in-depth Day Skipper shorebased course. You will cover subjects such as nautical terms, safety, chart work, tides, meteorology, passage planning, pilotage and international regulations for preventing collisions at sea. A shorebased course completion certificate will be issued upon the successful conclusion of the course.
