ABOUT THE COURSE Run a yacht as skipper. This course gives you the opportunity to take command of a yacht and crew in a range of situations in familiar waters, mostly by day. At the end of the course you will be ready to think about chartering on your own or perhaps as part of a flotilla fleet. If successful, you will get an RYA course certificate and will have clocked up at least a 100 miles in your logbook. Also, the International Certificate of Competence (ICC) is automatically available to those with the Day Skipper qualification.If you want to get an idea of what happens on a course, click here for a diary of a Day Skipper. COURSE STRUCTURE Dates and prices are listed below and you need only click one of the 'Buy now' buttons to reserve a place. All courses require at least 5 days of instruction that you can achieve in one of four ways:- Book a traditional 5-day mid week course (Sunday evening to Friday afternoon)
- Book a 5-day course including a weekend (usually Friday evening to Wednesday afternoon) - this means only 3 days off work
- Book any three 2-day weekend courses (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon) - this means 6 days at sea and no time off work
- Book any two 2-day weekends and one 3-day weekend (Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon) - 7 days at sea
STUDENT NUMBERS Each course requires at least 3 students to make it a useful learning exercise. Therefore if you are ultimately the only person booked on a course it will be impossible for it to proceed. The number of places on a course is always limited to 5 per yacht. However If there is strong demand for a particular date, we can usually accommodate more students through the use of additional yachts and instructors. If a place is not available for whatever reason, you will be given the option to defer to a later date, attend an alternative course/event on the same date if we have one, or get a full refund. | RYA Day Skipper courses 2010 |  | | Month | Start date | End date | Days | Price | Book on line | Course code | | April | Friday 9th | Sunday 11th | 2 day weekend | £190 | | ds0904d2 | | April | Friday 16th | Wed 21st | 5 days including weekend | £405 | | ds1504d5 | | April | Thursday 22nd | Sunday 25th | 3 day weekend | £280 | | ds2204d3 | | April | Sunday 25th | Friday 30th | 5 days midweek | £380 | | ds2504d5 | | May | Friday 7th | Sunday 9th | 2 day weekend | £195 | | ds0705d2 | | May | Friday 14th | Wed 14th | 5 days including weekend | £410 | | ds1405d5 | | May | Thursday 20th | Sunday 23rd | 3 day weekend | £285 | | ds2005d3 | | May | Sunday 24th | Friday 26th | 5 days midweek | £385 | | ds2405d5 | | June | Friday 4th | Sunday 6th | 2 day weekend | £195 | | ds0506d2 | | June | Thursday 10th | Tue 15th | 5 days including weekend | £410 | | ds1006d5 | | June | Thursday 17th | Sunday 20th | 3 day weekend | £285 | | ds1706d3 | | June | Sunday 20th | Friday 25th | 5 days midweek | £385 | | ds2006d5 | | July | Friday 2nd | Sunday 4th | 2 day weekend | £200 | | ds0307d2 | | July | Friday 9th | Wed 14th | 5 days including weekend | £415 | | ds0907d5 | | July | Thursday 15th | Sunday 18th | 3 day weekend | £290 | | ds1507d3 | | July | Sunday 18th | Friday 23rd | 5 days midweek | £390 | | ds1807d5 | | August | Friday 30th July | Sunday 1st | 2 day weekend | £200 | Full | ds3007d2 | | August | Friday 13th | Wed 18th | 5 days including weekend | £415 | Full | ds1308d5 | | August | Thursday 19th | Sunday 22nd | 3 day weekend | £290 | | ds1908d3 | | August | Sunday 22nd | Friday 27th | 5 days midweek | £390 | | ds2208d5 | | September | Friday 3rd | Sunday 5th | 2 day weekend | £195 | | ds0309d2 | | September | Friday 10th | Wed 15th | 5 days including weekend | £410 | | ds1009d5 | | September | Thursday 16th | Sunday 19th | 3 day weekend | £285 | | ds1609d3 | | September | Sunday 19th | Friday 24th | 5 days midweek | £385 | | ds1909d5 | | October | Friday 1st | Sunday 3rd | 2 day weekend | £190 | | ds0110d2 | | October | Friday 8th | Wed 13th | 5 days including weekend | £405 | | ds0810d5 | | October | Thursday 14th | Sunday 17th | 3 day weekend | £280 | | ds1410d3 | | October | Sunday 17th | Friday 22nd | 5 days midweek | £380 | | ds1710d5 | | November | Friday 5th | Sunday 7th | 2 day weekend | £190 | | ds0511d2 | | November | Friday 12th | Wed 17th | 5 days including weekend | £405 | | ds1211d5 | | November | Thursday 18th | Sunday 21st | 3 day weekend | £280 | | ds1811d3 | | November | Sunday 21st | Friday 26th | 5 days midweek | £380 | | ds2111d5 | | December | Friday 3rd | Sunday 5th | 2 day weekend | £185 | | ds0312d2 | | December | Friday 10th | Wed 15th | 5 days including weekend | £399 | | ds1012d5 | | December | Thursday 16th | Sunday 19th | 3 day weekend | £275 | | ds1612d3 |
