Trinity Sailing is a Royal Yachting Association accredited training centre, licensed
to conduct sailing courses under the RYA Sail Cruising Scheme. Each season we
offer several opportunities on our gaff cutter Golden Vanity for those who want
to learn about sailing and seamanship in more depth, and to gain accredited qualifications.
The Competent Crew certificate is a sailing course aimed at those starting
out in sailing, and wishing to learn the fundamentals required to be a useful
hand aboard a sailing boat. No previous sailing experience is required. Topics
covered include seamanship, knowledge of sea terms and parts of a boat, sail handling
and ropework, knowledge of safety procedures, helmsmanship, and the principles
of sailing.
The Day Skipper course is aimed at those with previous sailing experience
who wish to become competent to skipper a small yacht by day in familiar waters.
It is assumed that they will have at least the knowledge of a competent crew,
and must have a minimum of 5 days, 100 miles and 4 night hours logged before undertaking
the course. Some basic navigational knowledge is required, either through practical
experience or a Day Skipper Theory course. The course goes into greater depth
on the topics covered in Competent Crew, and also includes navigation, pilotage
and boat handling under sail and power.
The Coastal Skipper course is designed to give candidates the skills and
confidence to skipper a yacht on coastal passages in unfamiliar waters by day
or night. It includes seamanship, navigation, pilotage, boat handling and skippering.
Candidates should have completed a Coastal Skipper Theory course beforehand, or
have a similar level of background knowledge, and must have a minimum of 15 days
sea time (2 as Skipper), 300 miles and 8 night hours logged before starting the
course.
If you are uncertain as to which sailing course would be most suitable for you,
or would like further information or advice, please do not hesitate to contact
us by email or call 01803 883355.
Your skipper will be an RYA qualified Cruising Instructor or Yachtmaster Instructor.
