RYA Competent Crew
The competent crew course is your introduction to sailing but while learning you will have a whole heap of FUN! What is great about this course is it wont limit you to working on motor yachts. You will also be able to work on catamarans and sailing yachts. You will learn the nautical terminology necessary to work on the yachts. You also get insight into the living arrangements and the teamwork that is entailed.
The RYA Competent Crew course is for sailing and yachting beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers. For those interested in working in the yachting industry or on superyachts then this is a great way to learn the ropes.
