RYA Coastal Skipper (Coastal / Tidal) Practical Sailing Course

More Advanced and Adventurous Sail Training with ScotSail®

 

 

RYA Coastal Skipper (Coastal / Tidal) Sailing Course in Scotland Course Information

 

The RYA Coastal Skipper (Coastal/Tidal) Course is a more advanced sailing course, recommended before sailors proceed to higher levels like Yachtmaster® RYA/MCA Exams.  It is a high-level in itself and holders of this certificate will have shown that they have sailing ability and experience beyond that required for Day Skipper.   It is recognised internationally and can also be used to charter yachts.

 

The courses are 5 Days & Nights / Full Board (Mon-Fri) with Check-In/ Arrival from 1830hrs on Sundays, at our LargsCentre.   Return is for about 1400hrs on the Friday and each night is spent on board in cabins, at a different island / location / marina, in the Firth of Clyde & Islands sailing area.   Sailing takes place during the day on a teaching and continual-assessment basis so there is no exam or test. You will certainly experience longer passages, navigation exercises and night-sails.   There is no formal examination, but only a RYA Yachtmaster® Offshore Instructor may lead this course
