RYA Competent Crew

AIM

This course is for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers.

Experience living on board and really get to know the boat. Virtually all the course is hands on. You are the crew – without you, the sails won’t go up and the boat won’t be steered.

By the end of the course, you should be able to steer, handle sails, keep a lookout, row a dinghy and assist in all day to day duties on board. You will also have visited some interesting places and had an enjoyable holiday.
