Yachtmaster Milebuilder
Overview
Our Yachtmaster Mile Builder course provides the opportunity to log sea miles and qualifying passages in preparation for assessment for the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate. You will take part in a series of extended passages by day and night, operating a watch system on board.
Course programme
These extended passages are a good opportunity to build up experience sailing offshore under the watchful eye of a Flying Fish instructor. You will also get the chance to practice offshore navigation, safety drills and gain lots of helming experience.
This course is a great way to log miles towards your RYA Coastal or Yachtmaster exam.
