Competent
Crew
Or. Getting Your Sea Legs Course Details Duration: 5 days (Sunday to Friday) or 3 weekends. Maximum 5 students per course. Previous experience required: None Content: Introduction to yachting, basic seamanship and helmanship skills Competent Crew is the first step of the RYA ladder. It is the course for the absolute beginner to learn the basics and to enjoy the delights of sailing aboard a cruising yacht. It is also an ideal stepping stone for dingy sailors to try yachting and for those who have already done some crewing but wish to learn the right way. At the end of the 5 days you will have become, as the name suggests, a competent (and confident) member of the crew. You will be taught the fundamentals of crewing such as knots, nautical terms, sail handling and helming as well as how to "live" in the environment of a cruising yacht. During the course you will spend all 5 days aboard the yacht visiting many of the harbours and anchorages between Poole and the Solent, and if the weather allows, complete a longer coastal or offshore passage. With a maximum of 5 students per course, your fully qualified skipper will devote plenty of time to your special needs. Safety is paramount in all RYA courses and you will learn how to operate flares, lifejackets, safety harnesses, life rafts, how to assist the recovery of a man overboard, and participate in at least one night sail of 4 hours duration. At the end of the
course you will be awarded the RYA competent Crew Certificate and be an
asset to any crew you join. |
