ISA YACHTMASTER COASTAL SHOREBASED CERTIFICATE

COURSE FEE €489

 

The ISA Yachtmaster Coastal shorebased course is the ideal way to start the shorebased Yachtmaster navigation course progression. It is ideal for skippers and crew who want to understand how to make the decisions required to skipper and navigate a cruising yacht or motor boat safely and enjoyably at sea, by day and by night. A sound knowledge of charts and chartwork, their interaction with GPS and the ability to access and use tidal stream and tidal height information are essential for safe cruising at sea. On the Yachtmaster Coastal shorebased course you will explore these subjects fully and practice their application, developing confidence in your abilities in a comfortable and friendly classroom environment. The weather is of paramount importance when planning a passage or cruise. We will look at the sources of weather forecasts and how to use the information available to the best advantage. You will learn the Rules for the Prevention of Collision at Sea (ColRegs) so that you understand what action to take when different situations arise between you and other vessels of all types. A pilotage plan is essential for safe entry into an unfamiliar harbour or marina; you will learn about pilotage planning and pilotage techniques. The Sea~Craft Yachtmaster Coastal course is definitely not a baby course; it is a wide ranging, satisfying and informative course using the latest ISA charts of Irish waters and harbours. The course is fully supported by the ISA Training Almanac containing extracts from Reeds Nautical Almanac and the ICC Sailing Directions and with the ISA Yachtmaster course notes. The ISA Yachtmaster Coastal shorebased course completion certificate is awarded on successful completion of the course.
