Unless you practice regularly it is all too easy to forget the tidal navigation that you learned during your RYA Day Skipper or RYA Coastal/Yachtmaster shorebased courses.
This one day shorebased brush-up course revises tidal navigation in detail. We revisit:
Tidal Streams - Computation of rates, estimated Position & Course-to-Steer using both tidal stream atlas and tidal diamond methods.
Tidal Heights - Secondary port calculations & tidal curves; calculating depths in which to anchor; clearances over sand banks and marina sills and vertical bridge clearances.
If your tidal navigation is a bit rusty or you are contemplating taking an RYA course that requires tidal navigation knowledge then this must-do brush-up course will help you prepare.
Other dates may be available subject to demand so please contact us if your preferred dates are not listed above.
You must hold an RYA Day Skipper or Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster shorebased certificate.
