It is a demanding theory course covering advanced navigation techniques such as – Position Fixing, Course to Steer, Passage Planning, Pilotage, Meteorology, IRPCS, Stability and Buoyage. By the end of the course the successful student will have a comprehensive knowledge of what is required to navigate to Yachtmaster standard, and will have passed 3 exams on chartwork, meteorology, and IRPCS.
It is highly recommended that you revise the collision regulations before attending the course and have acquired the Day Skipper knowledge before doing this course, to ensure successful completion.
