RYA Yachtmaster Coastal – 5 days plus 1 day for exams
How to choose the right training school to help you to pass your RYA Yachtmaster Coastal examination –
Four Top Tips:
- Choose a school whose RYA Yachtmaster Instructor is also a qualified RYA YachtmasterPower Examiner, this will ensure that you get the best possible pre-exam training coupled with a true insight into what an RYA Examiner is looking for.
- Choose a school that runs courses with a lower number of students, this will ensure the best possible one to one instruction and the maximum hands-on time is provided prior to the exam
- Look for a school with an instructor who specialises in training on motorboats, sailing is very different and a purely focused RYA Yachtmaster Instructor Power will have the greatest possible depth of knowledge in this discipline
- Finally choose the school that offers the best possible training vessel fitted with current state of the art electronics, current back up charts, i pads and almanacs.
Why choose Capital Training: Capital ticks all the four top tips above, I am the Principal and Chief Instructor at Capital Training as well as being an RYA Examiner. I set the school up back in the early 1990s and have been training and examining RYA Yachtmaster candidates ever since. I have gained over 200,000 sea miles during this time and will ensure that you get the best possible training experience and thereby the best possible chance of passing your RYA Yachtmaster Coastal exam.
At Capital we never exceed a 3:1 Instructor to student ratio, we use a Nelson 34 semi-displacement training boat with its renowned sea-keeping abilities, fitted with state-of-the-art Raymarine electronics.
Capital will provide each student with a navigation pack for the duration of the course including:
