Combine the RYA Yachtmaster Shorebased Navigation course this winter with a Round IRL Voyage this summer for the ultimate, a WWS Coastal Skipper PLUS!
There is no better prep for taking your own boat out on the high seas or taking a group on a charter. You will be skilfully guided through the tricky interplay of tidal gates & weather forecasts that make passage planning a Round IRL Voyage complicated and satisfying.
Practice traditional Yachtmaster navigation techniques such as the Running Fix while also learning how to use AIS to tackle shipping lanes & Traffic Separation Schemes.
Learn all our tips & tricks for sail selection & sail handling with our extensive asymmetrical spinnaker collection from the “Zero” to “Big Blue”
All this while spotting whales, dolphins & seabirds on the Wild Atlantic Way and sampling the finest hospitality that Ireland’s Islands have to offer!
