This winter the Upper Thames Motor Yacht Club (UTMYC) RYA Training Centre intends to run the RYA Day Skipper Theory course, and ROSC members are invited to join in.
The course involves 40 hours of classroom tuition together with homework during a 6 day course spread over 3 weekends. The last weekend being for revision and the assessments. Lectures will start at 0830 on each day in the Clubhouse and finish around 1730 with half an hour for lunch.
The dates are:
Sat/Sun 2/3 November
Sat/Sun 16/17 November
Sat/Sun 7/8 December
The course fee for ROSC members is £240.00 which includes the RYA course materials: course notes; exercises book; two practice charts; a training almanac and a completion certificate. You will need drawing instruments (a Portland Plotter and a set of dividers) for the chart work. If you don’t already have these, UTMYC can purchase them for you at a discounted price from the RYA, alternatively you can buy them yourselves.Â
Details of the Day Skipper Theory course can be found by clicking on this link to the RYA website. Due to limited space in the Clubhouse we can accommodate up to 8 students and need a minimum of 4 students to make the course viable. If you are interested please let Bob know as soon as possible and he will enter your details on a waiting list. Please provide your full name, an email address, your telephone number and state that you're a ROSC member.
