RYA Course - Seamanship Skills |
 |
This is a development level course which introduces advanced sailing concepts and encourages independent thinking in assessing conditions and executing manoeuvres.
The waters of the Norfolk Broads are an ideal training ground for developing boat handling skills in confined waters and the challenges of windward work on winding rivers are thoroughly covered in this advanced course. It is ideally taken over a mid-week break, Tuesday afternoon until Friday evening.
