The 5 day Competent Crew course is a comprehensive introduction for novice sailors. It will bring you to the point where you will become an effective member of any sailing yacht crew. It is perfect for complete beginners who have decided they wish to pursue sailing on a cruising yacht. No previous experience required and there is no age rule.

This course is ideal for those wishing to progress to skippering. You cannot skipper a yacht unless you know what to expect of your crew, and manage them.
