RYA Accreditation

These certificates are recognised worldwide and can be used towards progression in a sailing career.  More generally, amongst the young people who sail on our vessels, they form part of an accredited training programme and play an important role in an individual's self development through an increase in knowledge and self confidence. 

Start Yachting

This course provides a short introduction to sail cruising.  During the training, participants will experience steering, sail handling, rope work and basic safety. This certificate can be gained on voyages lasting a full weekend or longer.

Competent Crew

This course instructs the non-sailor in basic seamanship, helmsmanship and personal safety to a level required to be a useful member of crew on board a cruising yacht. This certificate can be gained on 7 day voyages.

Costs

There is no additional cost for the training but there is an additional cost of £5 per person for the certificate or £10 for anyone wanting the RYA log book in preference to a syllabus sheet.
