You really manage to create a 'family feeling' which is very good.

RYA Competent Crew is the first step in learning to sail a yacht. It's a five day course with a relaxed schedule designed for complete beginners or those with a little dinghy or yachting experience.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Competent Crew is designed to give you the skills and confidence to work as part of the crew of a cruising yacht.

You'll learn the basics of sailing: how to steer, how to hoist and trim the sails, how to handle the anchor and mooring lines, how to respond to emergency situations; and you'll also learn basic theory, including the names of parts of the boat, useful knots, and personal safety guidelines.

You'll live aboard the yacht and take part in all the day-to-day activities from tying on fenders to making lunch. But it's not all hard work - we'll take time to explore the picturesque Saronic Gulf, moor in colourful fishing harbours, and swim in crystal clear waters.

At the end you�ll be ready to help sail a cruising yacht as a useful member of the crew.

It's a fun, sociable course, and highly recommended whether you are travelling alone, with your partner, or with a group of friends.

Anyone can enjoy this course, even if they've never stepped on a boat before!
