- "Week Option" - Five consecutive days, usually starting Saturday, Monday or Wednesday, (this page)
- "Combined Option" - Nine days (consecutive), Dayskipper Shorebased and Sail Practical back to back
- "Tidal Endorsement" - Two days for those who originally took their Dayskipper Sail Course at a Non-Tidal Centre

It is recommended that you attend the Day Skipper Shorebased Course and Competent Crew Course before taking this practical course. You will also find the RYA SRC Course useful. If gybes are still taking you by surprise then you are not quite ready for this practical course.
Course Content:
Pilotage, boat handling, seamanship and navigation. This practical course gives you the chance to put all the skills learnt on the shorebased course into practice. Once you have passed the Dayskipper practical we are happy to also issue you with the ICC (International Certificate of Competence) for sail craft up to 24m (subject to RYA license fee). The ICC is available to UK citizens and residents.
