The RYA Yachtmaster Prep Course is designed to prepare you for
your Yachtmaster exam. It is vital that you are confident with your
skippering ability and have a sound knowledge and practical
application of the syllabus.
During the intensive four day Prep Course you will work hard on
your boat handling techniques, pilotage, navigation and man over
board. There will also be a good amount of night time sailing to
familiarise yourself with the local waters and improve your
pilotage skills.
Each student will then be examined by an external RYA
Yachtmaster Examiner who will step on board on Thursday evening.
You will then be assesed as you skipper the yacht on short passages
and complete various demonstrations of skippering techniques. As
all of our Instructors have been through these exams themselves
they will be able to prepare you appropriately so that you are
relaxed and confident on the day.
Before you join this course, please ensure that you have all the
completed all the pre-course
requirements, including holding a VHF license, First Aid &
Sea
Survival Certificates.
If you have insufficient mileage consider doing the RYA Coastal Skipper
Course first. Alternatively you may want to get some more
experience with our milebuilding trips like the Southampton -
Brittany delivery.
