RYA Competent Crew Sailing Course in Scotland Course Information

 

The RYA Competent Crew Course allows the holder to experience sail cruising at its best, and is the pre-cursor course to the RYA Day Skipper Certificate.   If you want to learn how to take active part in sailing and steering a modern cruising yacht, and have a fun sailing week whilst doing it, then the RYA Competent Crew course is for you.  It is often attended by those preparing for a charter or flotilla, and can be mixed with other course types like Day Skipper.

 

No Previous Experience Necessary

 

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. This is designed as an enjoyable cruising week with RYA Training.

A typical course or experience, be it a week or 3-weekends' sailing, will entail leaving our centre at Largs Yacht Haven and engaging in sailing activities and training during the day, whilst en route to a destination. You will likely cover many tens of miles up to 150 miles per week, and you will also have the opportunity to participate in an exciting 4-hour night sail!
