9 Day Fastrack RYA Day Skipper Course

Previous Experience

The prerequisite for participating in Kipper Sailing's 9 Day Combined Day Skipper course is some previous sailing experience. This might have been attained, through dinghy sailing, by crewing on friends' yachts, by participating in a flotilla holiday or a Competent Crew course. If you are uncertain whether this is the right course for you please contact John.

Ability After Successfully Completing The Course

Students will be competent to skipper a sailing yacht in familiar, tidal waters by day. (Holders of the RYA Day Skipper course completion certificate are normally able to charter sailing yachts in the UK and overseas and may apply to the RYA for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC).)
