Weather At Sea Course For Sailors & Motorboat Skippers

Our one day course follows the RYA Yachtmaster Theory Course Syllabus and is taught by an RYA Yachtmaster instructor. It is aimed to help students who may never take the full Yachtmaster Theory course but would like to improve on their own understanding of weather systems and forecast information. 
This course takes students with a basic theory level of weather understanding toward the Yachtmaster level.
