I'm looking to get my RYA Coastal Skipper in preparation for buying a boat at the end of this coming season / beginning of next.
The practical shouldn't be a problem, as there are plenty of residential courses that will do the course in about a week. However, I don't fancy spending a week of my holiday in a classroom, doing the theory part of the exam. Any alternatives? The evening classes in my area always seem to be completely booked up.
I saw a correspondance course but that seemed to be fantastically expensive.
Any recommendations? I live in the south of England.

You don't say where in the South of England.

I can recommend Sail UK in Poole. They do theory courses over three weekends, so it's not a long drawn out affair like most evening classes, but it also doesn't mean you have to take any holiday to do it.

Nice people, nice atmosphere. I just came back from there, having spent 5 days doing my Day Skipper practical. Went from Poole down to Dartmouth and back.

You can contact Sail UK on 01202 668410

Did you do your Coastal Skipper in the end? If not I have a suggestion on where you can do the Coastal skipper theory and practical without sitting in a classroom for a week.

Best regards

Cathy
