This online theory course offers a great introduction to navigation and safety awareness for new or inexperienced skippers and crew and those wanting to refresh their skills. In fact it’s for anyone interested in sailing, motor boating, sea angling or diving, and works well in complementing our on-the-water training such as the RYA Start Yachting and RYA Competent Crew courses.
With the move to the RHKYC running our courses, we are in the process of changing our supplier to Ardent Training who we believe will provide a splendid addition to our courses at the RHKYC. Ardent Training are a team of experienced professional sailors who have built an excellent platform to provide distance learning.
