Competent Crew
This course is run over 5 consecutive days, 3+2
days or 3 weekends.
It allows a more extensive introduction for
people wishing to learn how too actively crew
sailing yachts. This superb course teaches core
skills with a broad range of experiences. Living
aboard provides an enjoyable insight to the
sailing way of life. Very much hand’s on
training all the way, learning the skills needed
to assist a skipper; also building knowledge for
the safe use of your own yacht in the future. A
minimum of 100 sea miles can be expected
enjoying not only local waters but also passages
to nearby rivers via the sea. Estuary Sailing
recommends this course as an excellent basis for
future skill development.
