SUMMARY:Yachtmaster Skills - Advanced berthing & seamanship
DESCRIPTION:We consider this one-day mooring clinic an essential addon to our hugely popular ‘park it like a pro’ event. Practice yachtmaster level boat handling and ensure you know how\, and when to use lines to stay in control when alongside\, and while mooring and departing. \nA robust understanding of how best to use mooring lines is a good way to demonstrate your depth of experience to an examiner and we often see that a lack of practice translates to confused and incomplete crew briefs which fail to impress the examiner!\nBenefiting from a low training ratio this YM level event looks at the techniques you should have up your sleeve for the scenarios that require a different approach.

SUMMARY:Yachtmaster skills – Advanced navigation & skippering
DESCRIPTION:Elevate your handling\, sharpen your judgement and progress toward Yachtmaster standard\nBuild the confidence\, precision and higher‑level seamanship expected of a Yachtmaster‑standard skipper. This two‑day training event sits between Skipper it like a Pro and our full Yachtmaster Prep & Exam week\, giving members a focused opportunity to accelerate their progression\, refine advanced techniques and gain structured practice in skills rarely rehearsed during normal cruising. \nAcross the two days you’ll work through realistic scenarios\, targeted coaching and higher‑intensity manoeuvres designed to strengthen judgement\, improve consistency and help you feel calm and in control in more demanding conditions. You’ll come away with greater confidence\, more assured handling and a clear understanding of your next steps. \nYou’ll learn to\n–  Handle a yacht confidently under sail in close quarters\, using clear crew communication and decision-making to carry out controlled slow‑speed manoeuvres.\n–  Apply structured techniques for advanced berthing\, including springing on and off\, wind-against-tide approaches and strategies for more complex scenarios.\n–  Plan and execute night pilotage using lights\, transits\, depths and electronic navigation to maintain safe\, accurate progress after dark.\n–  Recognise and interpret lights and buoyage to support confident navigation in reduced visibility. \nWho’s it for? \nMembers who have completed Skipper it like a Pro or have equivalent experience\, and who want to build the confidence and consistency needed before stepping up to Yachtmaster preparation.

SUMMARY:Yachtmaster skills - Boat handling under sail
DESCRIPTION:The ability to sail well in close quarters is an often-neglected skill for modern sailors. Could you keep calm and carry on without the engine in the event of gear failure? Or perhaps examiner intervention!\nBenefiting from a low student ratio this clinic style day will build your confidence\, understanding and ability to sail through manoeuvres you’d normally start the donk’ for. \nUnder the guidance of an experienced RYA instructor\, you’ll look at short tacking\, sailing onto pontoons\, picking up moorings and fenders under sail as well as delving into how to adjust your strategy for differing conditions.

SUMMARY:Mile builder - France
DESCRIPTION:This weekend mile builder is perfect for anyone wanting to gain coastal and night sailing experience\, but also for those wanting to visit some destinations a bit further afield. \nDepending on the weather forecast\, we expect to set off from Hamble on Friday evening and after leaving the Solent\, head across the channel for Cherbourg. In the event that conditions are unsuitable for a channel crossing we’d endeavour to make a passage of similar mileage along the south coast. For those with suitable experience\, this is also an ideal opportunity to skipper a leg and tick off a qualifying passage for the Yachtmaster qualification. \nPrice: \nSaloon berth: 37 points or £455\nPrivate cabin (single occupancy): 54 points or £620\nPrivate cabin (twin occupancy): 71 points or £875
