People new to yachting
often are, quite rightly, a little nervous about
setting out on a passage and leaving sight of
the shore.
They may have already invested in a boat of
their own or wish to gain experience prior to
investing a lot of time and money in a vessel of
their own.
Will the theory skills they may already know or
have yet to learn be adequate for a safe
journey?
Sailing with a skilled RYA Yachtmaster Offshore,
Cruising Instructor and Shorebased Instructor
can give that peace of mind.
Practice the art with qualified support all the
way. After a couple of voyages many people gain
the confidence to venture further afield or take
the plunge and buy a boat of their own.
Either way it is nice to ‘have a go’ before
committing oneself to yacht ownership or other
expense.
Similarly RYA students have to reach certain
qualifying mileages before higher level RYA
courses, for example:-
| |
Day skipper
= 5 days, 100 miles and 4 night hours. |
| |
Coastal skipper
= 15 days (2 as skipper), 300 miles and 8
night hours. |
| |
Yachtmaster
= 50 days (5 as skipper), 2,500 miles
with 5 passages over 60 miles. 2
overnight passages with 2 as skipper |
Estuary Sailing are
happy to allow people to practice their skills,
build up mileages and develop confidence whilst
discussing/learning theory as they go.
RYA students can often get a discount as ‘part
of the crew’ and build miles!!
Please don’t hesitate to discuss your needs,
from a 4 hour general practice or specialist
practice session to >60 mile or over passages.

effort will be made to help where possible. |
