LEADING LIGHT SAILING

Changing the way Sail training is delivered

The course develops on from the navigation and other theory knowledge acquired on the RYA Day Skipper Course. It is intended for those who are looking to undertake more complex passages, perhaps offshore, at night, or crossing the channel.

It is a demanding theory course covering advanced navigation techniques such as – Position Fixing, Course to Steer, Passage Planning, Pilotage, Meteorology, IRPCS (Collision Regulations, Lights, Sounds etc), Stability and Buoyage. By the end of the course the successful student will have a comprehensive knowledge of what is required to navigate to Yachtmaster standard, and will have passed 3 exams on chartwork, meteorology, and IRPCS.

It is highly recommended that you revise the collision regulations before attending the course and have acquired the Day Skipper knowledge—or equivant—before doing this course, to ensure successful completion
