Requirements for the RYA Day Skipper Shorebased Course, making it accessible to anyone interested in learning.
In addition to the Day Skipper course, York Cruiser Training Centre also offers other RYA-approved shorebased courses, such as the Essential Navigation and Seamanship Course and the Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore Theory Course. These courses cover a range of topics including navigation, weather forecasting, safety procedures, and international regulations.
At YCTC, learning is not limited to the classroom. The centre organises regular social events where members can network with like-minded individuals and learn from experienced boaters. They also arrange trips and visits with local marine organisations and persons of interest, providing opportunities for further learning and exploration.
One of the unique aspects of YCTC is their commitment to forming a link between boat owners and crew. By joining the centre, individuals can connect with boat owners who are looking for crew members or sailing companions. This provides opportunities for aspiring sailors to gain valuable experience and build their skills.
YCTC is proud to be an RYA affiliated training centre, ensuring that the training they provide is of the highest standard. Successful completion of their courses and assessments will result in an RYA certificate, recognised worldwide.
Membership at YCTC is open to everyone, regardless of their level of experience. Whether you are a total novice or a seasoned sailor, you are welcomed with open arms. The annual membership fee of 10 is seen as a worthwhile investment in one's boating career.
