Coastal Skipper Practical
6 nights aboard 5 days sailing
Coastal Skipper practical is a 5 day course 6 nights aboard.
There are two types of Coastal Skipper Course the normal RYA 5 day Coastal skipper practical course which results in the RYA Coastal Skipper completion certificate.
You need three hundred sea miles to enter this course and coastal skipper level theory.
The second option is the 5 day course and D.o.T. exam for commercial use.
To complete it you need a previous 800 sea miles on cruising yachts and Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster level theory.
Or if you have the coastal/Yachtmaster theory certificate you need just 400 sea miles to complete this course.

If you do not have the coastal skipper theory certificate you can do a combination 2 week theory and practical 13 nights aboard and 10 days sailing to obtain the practical certificate.

The course covers all aspects of sailing including reefing, man overboard, sailing alongside, sailing onto moorings, passage making, collision regulations, knots and much more as well as skippering skills and yacht management.

If you require the coastal D.o.T. exam contact Clare

Coastal Skipper is a more advanced course and includes night navigation, fog navigation much more yacht handling under sail.
On completion of this practical course you should be able to do inshore and offshore passages by day and by night.
This qualification is required by most discerning yacht charter companies.

To do the Coastal skipper practical course you will need to be at Coastal Skipper level theory. If you have already done this then you need read no further and you can book the practical course.

Theory can be done in two ways:-

As part of a two week Coastal Skipper combination theory and practical course. (Previous experience required
 = Day Skipper level practical and theory plus 300 sea miles.) you spend the full two weeks sailing and do the Coastal Skipper theory and practical whilst you are aboard.

This is quite intensive and you should achieve the coastal skipper practical certificate. The course includes theory sufficient to get you through the practical course but dose not include a theory exam and certificate.

You can do our on line theory revision course, then just do the one week practical on the yacht. (Previous experience required  = Day Skipper level practical and theory plus 300 sea miles.)

The RYA require that all theory courses  resulting in a theory certificate should be carried out in a suitable classroom with the correct simulators and visual aids. Allabroad has two fully fitted air conditioned classroom on site at Marina Bay.
If you would like to obtain any of your theory certificates then contact clare.

Feedback.
 

Hi Clare,

Hope you had a good Christmas. Happy New Year!! I will keep my belated feedback as short as possible as one of the first things I did on getting home was get a set of ridiculously long false nails & typing is a nightmare!!

I have only got positive things to say about the course. I had a great time. The instructors were excellent, especially Martin & Matt, who really took the time to explain things over & over again, no matter how many times I asked (& it was a lot!), but still managed to make it a laugh.

The office staff were always very helpful & if I raised any concerns with any staff member of ASA regarding crew swaps or areas I felt I was weak on they were always acted on immediately. I really appreciated having those two extra days berthing with Vic for example. I learnt a lot & he improved my confidence no end, especially with his stories of how stressful he found berthing at the beginning.

I had a great time & would like to say a big thank-you to everyone for their help & support. I will definitely recommend ASA to anyone wanting to get their Yachtmaster!

Best Wishes for a Happy 2007,

Alison
