Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Courses:

Although I have not sailed before I do own a Quicksilver 6.50 Passport with a 100hp outboard. Thus, I have already taken some RYA courses:

1. Powerboat Level 2 (RYA)
2. Day Skipper Theory (RYA)
3. VHF/Short Range Certificate (SRC) (RYA)

The above courses were taken at the http://edinburghmarineacademy.co.uk

However, as I am going to sail around the world, not motor around the world, I will need to learn to sail. The following are the courses that I have undertaken to enable me to start sailing and then progress to the standard required for this adventure I have undertaken.

1. Competent Crew (RYA) – March 2025 https://gowestsailing.com
2. Day Skipper Practical (RYA) – March 2025 https://gowestsailing.com
