RYA PRACTICAL COURSES

All our RYA practical courses, with the exception of the special Day Skipper and Competent Crew courses for The King's Fleet, start and finish at our base  in Northney Marina, PO11 0NH,  (click here for joining instructions for all our voyages).

​

For the Day Skipper course whilst candidates are not required to have passed their navigation courses to participate in Day Skipper our experience shows that candidates who have taken time to develop a good knowledge of essential navigation fare better. As a minimum we recommend study of these two books: 

​

a.    RYA An Introduction to Navigation, Melanie Bartlett ISBN9781906435080 RYA Product Code G77
b.    The Skippers Pocket Book, Basil Rosenthall ISBN1898660581

 

We also try to aim for a ratio of 3 Day Skipper Candidates to 2 Competent Crew Candidates per Day Skipper course. Please do call us on 01243908926 or email us at bookings@mst.org.uk to verify availability before booking.
