Seamanship Skills is arguably the most important of the five advanced modules in the RYA Youth Sailing Scheme. Over the week children advanced their boat handling skills, learn rope work and sailing theory, enabling them to become more competent in a range of conditions. Ultimately they become more self sufficient and pave the way to becoming an instructor.

Competent stage 4 sailors aged 10 to 16 looking to build their core knowledge and understanding of the sport.
