Who is going to teach you?
Our theory instructors have done it. They have travelled the world and seen distant shores. They have led crews through storms and high winds. Known battered rigging and rocky coves. Adventure is in their blood and they will share all that knowledge and experience with you. Stuff you can’t get from a text book.
All our theory instructors are Yachtmasters. That means that they are at the top of their game and there is nobody better than that to teach you. During your time with them you should make the most of their knowledge and experience. Ask them questions about anything you want to learn and they will be happy to help. All of them genuinely care about your outcome.
