This is the first of the RYA Theory courses and covers both Power and
Sail. It is an elementary course in basic Navigation, Seamanship,
Meteorology, Rule of the Road, Tides, Boat construction and Electronic

to have a good grounding in the theory. This fully interactive course
covers the complete RYA Day Skipper syllabus and is greatly enhanced with
300+ animations, relevant items of navigational history and cartoons. We

many colour illustrations plus the animations guide you through the
