DaySkipper Shore-based Theory CLASSROOM Course Sheffield.
The entry course to basic seamanship.

Dayskipper provides the navigation skills necessary to manage cruising yachts and motor cruisers that you charter, or own. The course is set to a level and pace appropriate for beginners and people with little experience yet all the topics mentioned below are dealt with to enable a good understanding.
The course is fun with a wide syllabus which is similar to the Yachtmaster course syllabus. As such Dayskipper is also suitable for experienced sailors and where applicable the more rigorous requirements of the Yachtmaster subject matter will be individually addressed, for example the specific calculation of secondary port tide heights.
