Skippering an ocean sailboat takes considerable practice. Skippers must handle a variety of tricky situations while guaranteeing the safety of crew. We can help you become a qualified skipper and acquire skills similar to best foreign sailors. Sign up for our National Yachting School (NYS) courses - this unique programme includes onboard sailing time and examinations and leads to sailing qualifications. Our courses have been certified by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), whose qualifications are among the world's most respected and recognised.
The qualifications themselves are far from the most useful skills that a participant will have acquired: far more important are the skills and knowledge that the RYA has been imparting for the past 135 years. The goal of its courses is not only to teach the required rules but also boat handling with the highest emphasis on safety. RYA courses were designed by sailors with hundreds of miles of sailing experience.
