RYA Coastal Skipper Motor Practical Course
What the course delivers

This course is for the more ambitious skipper to improve skills and learn to make full use of the boat on longer, more complex passages. An important aspect is learning to take command and make decisions resulting in relaxed, well-planned passages and happy, safe crew.
