SUMMARY:Yachtmaster skills - Man overboard & safety
DESCRIPTION:When was the last time you practiced MOB? Does your crew have the skills to recover you from the water? Would you and your crew benefit from refreshing your knowledge of safety equipment and best practices? If you feel extra training would be beneficial in any of these areas we recommend joining our safety at sea day under the expert guidance of an RYA instructor. For new and more experienced skippers alike\, this is an opportunity to brush up and practice your knowledge of key skills which need to be fresh every time you set sail. \nThe day will include a recap of Safety equipment and procedures including:\n– man overboard under engine\n– man overboard under sail\n– life jackets\n– harness lines\n– life raft\n– flares and use of flares\n– sounds and signals\n– VHF procedures including reminder of DSC operations. \n

SUMMARY:Understanding tides
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the Solent means dealing with some of the UK’s most complex tidal patterns. Double high waters\, strong streams\, and local variations across ports can make berthing and passage planning particularly challenging. This webinar is designed to help sailors understand Solent tides and apply practical strategies for safer\, more confident boating. \nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN\n\nKey tidal features: the Southampton Curve\, double high waters\, and spring/neap timings.\nTidal behaviour: faster ebb than flood\, the young flood stand\, and a 5m tidal range.\nChannel dynamics: how the English Channel fills and empties\, shaping extended high water periods.\nPractical boating strategies: docking in Hamble River\, planning passages around Cowes\, Yarmouth\, and Hurst.\nHazard awareness: unmarked or partially buoyed dangers at Calshot\, Bramble\, Stansore Point\, Newtown\, and more.\nReliable tools: charts\, almanacs\, Imray Tide Planner\, Navionics\, and guides like Winning Tides.\n\nWHY ATTEND?\nWhether you’re docking in a busy harbour\, planning a family cruise\, or tackling a short coastal passage\, understanding Solent tides is essential. This session will give you practical knowledge\, local insights\, and trusted resources to plan with confidence and avoid common pitfalls. \nReserve your place and sail the Solent with greater confidence

SUMMARY:Motor training - RYA Advanced powerboat
DESCRIPTION:Advance your skippering with night navigation and rough-weather handling\nOur Advanced Powerboat course is designed for members who are already confident operators and want to build the skills needed to run a powerboat safely in more challenging conditions and after dark. Building on the skills developed at intermediate level\, this two‑day programme introduces a broader understanding of the role of the skipper\, including how to deliver effective safety briefs\, and manage their crew. With a strong focus on night navigation and pilotage\, you’ll gain the confidence to run safe\, structured passages\, with training on the first day running into the evening and typically finishing around 2200. \nYou’ll also explore rough‑weather handling techniques\, learning how to manage engine trim and speed to maintain control and comfort when conditions deteriorate. The course offers an excellent way to strengthen confidence when cruising after dark; pilotage\, light recognition and navigation skills transfer directly to yachting\, making it a valuable progression for sailors looking to enhance this skillset as well as powerboaters. \nWorking at a low ratio with an experienced instructor\, you’ll refine your control at planing‑speed\, apply advanced navigation techniques\, and develop the mindset of a skipper; preparing you for more ambitious coastal passages and the RYA Advanced Powerboat Certificate of Competence. \nWhat you’ll learn\n–  Deliver clear\, structured safety briefs and apply the wider responsibilities expected of an advanced‑level skipper\n–  Plan and execute coastal passages at planing‑speed\, including in more challenging or unfamiliar waters\n–  Apply advanced pilotage techniques by day and night using charts\, lights\, depths\, transits and electronic navigation\n–  Recognise and interpret lights\, marks and buoyage to maintain safe navigation by day and night\n–  Handle a high‑performance powerboat confidently in rough‑weather\, managing trim\, speed and boat attitude for control and comfort\n–  Integrate tides\, weather and local effects into real‑time decision making\n–  Approach unfamiliar harbours and anchorages using structured\, repeatable methods\n–  Manage emergency situations\, including equipment failures and man‑overboard recovery \nWho it’s for\nMembers who have completed the RYA Intermediate Powerboat course and want to extend their capability into more challenging coastal waters. Ideal for sailors looking to build night cruising confidence and refine navigation and pilotage skills\, and for powerboaters preparing for more ambitious passages or working towards the RYA Advanced Powerboat CoC (certificate of competence). \nPrerequisites\n–  Powerboat handling to the level of Intermediate Powerboat\n–  Navigation knowledge to the level of Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Offshore\n–  Minimum age 17\n–  VHF SRC operators certificate (recommended)\n–  First aid certificate (recommended)

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.
