We have planned a series of 7 day Milebuilding trips with the opportunity to sail to the beautiful Channel Islands, the ports and harbours of northern Brittany and the south coast of England – ideal for Yachtmaster students.

Milebuilding trips are an essential part of the RYA training programme even they are not actually run as RYA sailing courses.

  Many people planning to take a RYA course ask me the question ‘ can I miss out Competent Crew and go straight on to Day Skipper?’ My answer is usually a resounding NO! Competent Crew is a fantastic introduction to how to do pretty well everything on a boat apart from being the skipper and undertaking the navigation. You will learn how to handle sails, helm and ropework as well as all the safety aspects of being on board a sailing…

Easter bunnies busy on the chart table The bunnies are taking navigation seriously as they plot a course to steer from Lymington to Cowes.

Commodore Yachting have just added an exciting milebuilding trip to their 2009 programme.
