The 5-day RYA Day Skipper Theory course introduces the
aspiring skipper to the wide range of subjects needed to take a
cruising yacht to sea.
The Day Skipper Theory
syllabus includes a section on safety,
including emergency equipment, correct distress procedures and the
basic 'rules of the road'. Navigation is
another key area, where you will be taught the basics of chart
work, position fixing, plotting a course to steer, using
tide-tables and pilotage.
You will also learn how to prepare for a day sail - including
passage planning and
meteorology. On the successful completion of
the course you will receive an RYA Day Skipper Theory
certificate.
