At C-MASTERS, we have created a selection of 'must do' courses. After several years of providing training we know which topics and skills are considered complex by students. Most of these topics are covered in the RYA shorebased courses and in practical courses. However, a more intensive training is needed to become a confident skipper.

 

Do you know that the most damage on sailing boats happens when manoeuvring under engine in harbours, locks and other busy spots?

Boat handling can be very stressful. It should be practiced intensively and as often as possible.

This course is a 'must do' for anyone who wants to master these stressful situations.
