Have you achieved your RYA Competent Crew qualification?
Do you want to gain more practical sailing experience and build your confidence without doing a formal course?
Then this is the weekend for you!
Your Competent Crew++ Weekend will focus on elements such as:
 Practising points of sail both on the helm and as crew
Sail setting and sail trim for the mainsail and genoa, on all points of sail
Knowing your commands on the helm
Helming in a range of conditions-wind and tide
Refreshing man overboard recovery and emergency situations
Practising manoeuvres under sail (for those wishing to move towards RYA Day Skipper)
We will practise out in the Solent during Saturday and the night will be spent either on the Isle of Wight or along the Solent mainland coast.
What is included?
The cost of your Competent Crew++ weekend includes:
Your accommodation on board your yacht throughout
Your breakfasts, homemade cooked lunches and our now famous cake!
All diets catered for!
Free use of sailing waterproofs (if needed) to keep you warm and dry
Use of safety gear (life jacket and safety harness) free of charge
Free parking at our marina
We eat ashore in the evenings so that everyone can stretch their legs (this cost is not included).
The only additional cost is a proportion of mooring fees which are split between those aboard. These vary between nil- £5 per night depending on where we stay.
Upon booking you will receive your Joining Instructions which provide a suggested list of what to bring.
Y our Joining Instructions will also detail where to find us.
We sail from Royal Clarence Marina in Gosport which is easily accessed by road (it is 20 minutes from the M27 at Fareham) or by direct train from Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour.
We look forward to sailing with you!
