In January 2011 the RYA is launching a new online course for those who want to learn navigation. It will be a fun, interactive way of learning the essential skills to get you started on the water, with a flexible approach enabling you to learn where and when it suits you.
The course is for you if you are a new or inexperienced skipper or crew – it is for all types of water users including sailors, motor boaters, divers and fishermen. There will be something in it for everyone with topics including:
- Charts, publications and terms
- Navigation
- Anchoring
- Electronic Navigation
- Weather forecasts
- Buoyage
- Safety
- Tides
- Rules of the road
- Pilotage
- Passage planning
