This is an advanced skippering course for yachtsmen and women who have considerable knowledge of sailing and navigation and are usually aspiring towards an offshore yachtmaster Certificate. Most centres will expect you to have attended the Coastal Skipper/ Yachtmaster Offshore shorebased course since your instructor will not have time to teach you theory during the week. Coastal Skippers should be able to undertake more difficult passages by day and night and handle the yacht in more demanding situations.

By the end of the course you should have the knowledge, if not experience to
become a Yachtmaster. The course, consists of skippered
passages by each of the trainees in a whole variety of situations.
It is a satisfying but intensive week.
