RYA Practical Course
|
|
In April 2010, the Club will again run its popular 7 day R.Y.A. practical courses, commencing and finishing at Largs Yacht Haven in Ayrshire, Scotland. A number of chartered sailing yachts will be skippered by R.Y.A. Instructors from the Club, enabling members to take the following courses:
The Clyde Estuary is an extremely attractive and relatively well sheltered area for sailing. Its islands, protected anchorages, harbours and marinas help to make it ideal as a training area. Each boat will have a maximum of 4 students on board, in the interests of individual attention and comfort. The cost will be £380 for RNYC members, including on-board meals and harbour dues. (If not already a member there is an additional £10 Temporary Membership fee.) *The Coastal Skipper Practical Course on offer is not the RYA Yachtmaster Coastal Certificate of Competence for which you need to take a practical exam. Anyone taking this course who wishes to take the exam at the end of it should contact whittingham@physics.org There are several accounts of previous RYA Practical cruises in Members' Cruises. For more information about RYA Courses see the RYA website. Application forms may be downloaded here (pdf). Contact: Tony Whittingham, 14 The Garth, Kenton, Newcastle upon Tyne,
NE3 4LL. Telephone: 0191 2842112. There are accounts of previous RYA Practicals in Members' Cruises.
