Emma, the organiser at Emsworth School of Navigation, extends a warm invitation to the sports community for their range of RYA (Royal Yachting Association) and MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) shorebased theory courses. These courses are available for both leisure and professional sailors and are suitable for all experience levels.
Located at Emsworth Yacht Harbour on Thorney Road, Hampshire, Emsworth School of Navigation offers accessible training facilities. You can reach out to Emma and her team at 07702 842190 or via email at training@emsnav.com for any questions or to discuss specific needs.
Emma takes great pride in her dedicated team of marine engineers and instructors. Their courses, regularly updated and approved by the RYA and MCA, provide recognised and quality training. One such offering is the RYA Essential Navigation & Seamanship Course, perfect for newcomers to sailing, power-boating, sea angling, diving, and those with some dinghy and keel boat experience. This course can be completed online or as a two-day classroom session, covering essential navigation techniques and seamanship knowledge.
Students will learn to understand charts, interpret the buoyage system, navigate safely, avoid collisions, forecast weather, understand tides, ensure boat safety, and use electronic navigation. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the skills and confidence to navigate safely between harbours during the day in good weather.
Emma is committed to providing high-quality training that equips individuals with the skills needed to enjoy and thrive in the marine industry.
