Advanced skippering techniques for yachtsmen with considerable knowledge of sailing and navigation, wanting to undertake coastal passages by day and night.
A course for aspiring skippers with some yachting experience and basic navigation and sailing skills.
This course is great for groups of friends or like-minded people to get together for a few days of fun sailing while learning skills to better help as crew onboard.
The course takes place in 3 sessions on a J80 sailboat and 1 session on a Beneteau First 36.7 or Hanse 345 cruise.
It’s a fun hands-on course to enjoy being on the water while learning basic sailing skills.
The course introduces the absolute beginner to sailing a cruising yacht. At the end of the 5 days, you will have become a competent (and confident) member of the crew.
Having received the International Bareboat Skipper Certificate, you can independently charter a yacht on a charter and operate it in the waters of any country.
To gain this certificate the candidate must do the IYT International Crew & Flotilla/Bareboat Skipper Sail course
The certificated confirms the skills sufficient to sail the yacht in light and dark hours at a distance from a sheltered port up to 100 sea miles.
This course is for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers.
