Day Skipper training courses and tests are the basic qualification
for competent and efficient daytime skippering of a sailing boat.
These sail training courses generally presume basic navigation
and helmsmanship shore based theory knowledge and some previous
practical sailing experience. Ideal courses for those wishing
to learn about skippering a boat at sea and enjoying the sport
and leisure opportunities that sailing has to offer.
After a successful training course the skipper should be capable
of handling a boat in familiar coastal waters during daylight
hours, navigation, managing sails, pilotage, seamanship, rowing
a dinghy and undertaking the everyday routines of a sailing boat.
UK sea-based training courses may be found at sailing centres
around the country and even beyond under the auspices of the overseas
sailing school's specific
accreditation.
Successful completion of a Day Skipper training course and exam
is the ideal preparation for more advanced skipper courses.
