Experience living on board and really get to know the boat. Virtually all the course is hands on. You are the crew - without you the sails won't go up and the boat won't be steered. RYA Competent Crew is the second course of the RYA system. It is the course for the beginner to learn the basics of sailing aboard a cruising yacht. It is also an ideal stepping stone for sailors from smaller boats to try yachting and for those who have already done some crewing but wish to obtain the competent crew certificate. At the end of the 5 days you will have become, as the name suggests, a competent crew member.

For this course no previous yachting experience is required.

You will be taught the fundamentals of crewing such as knots, nautical terms, sail handling and helming, as well as how to "live" in the environment of a cruising yacht. You should also have visited some interesting places and had an enjoyable holiday.
