Course Dates - 2010

   

We run Helmsman courses year round but book this course on request. Often running alongside the Day Skipper Practical Course (see dates)when training on Dark Angel. This serves to give students the opportunity to set the standard to achieve on the next course and provides real crew for the Day Skipper candidates to manage under the tutalage of our experienced instructor.  

Course Overview

   

This two day practical course is ideal for students new to boating and wishing to assist the Skipper rather than being in command of a motor cruiser. Designed for tidal or non tidal waters and includes practical application of the RYA Basic Navigation & Safety shorebased theory course knowledge, basic boat handling, engine checks, safety & Helmsmanship while under tuition with plenty of advice and help from our instructors.   

Suggested pre-course minimum experience & knowledge: No practical expereince required but an understanding of the RYA Basic Navigation & Safety shorebased theory course is desirable.
Course benefits:
  1. Cheaper insurance premiums as a trained and qualified Skipper - often neutrailising the cost of the course.
  2. Increased confidence in your own ability which in turn means greater enjoyment with friends and family as they feel confident in you.
Course Duration: Minimum of two days
