RYA Dayskipper Online Theory Course
- Duration: 50 Hours (approx.)
A comprehensive navigation course covering the theory required to plan and complete coastal passages by day.
What Will I learn?
This course covers the theory required to plan and complete coastal passages by day in familiar waters. It will increase your confidence about navigation and help you to sail your yacht with more confidence and certainty. The course will take about 40 - 50 hours of online home study with an assessment at the end.
It is a great way to understand how tides work and how they will affect your navigation and will help you to really sharpen your passage planning and position fixing. At the end of the course you will have covered the skills required to undertake coastal passages by day in reasonable weather conditions and in reasonably familiar areas.
