What you'll do

Are you dreaming about passing your boat license this summer? Or struggling with the navigation exercises in class or at home? It’s not complicated, it’s just a matter of taking the time to fully understand it. And we are here to help you gain that confidence!

Understanding the fundamentals of the sailing theory, especially navigation, can be a vital point in passing your exams or assessments for your license. Learning from the books by heart is one way, but „really“ understanding it is the better way to go. It not only helps you understand why things are done this way but also use modern navigation tools such as apps and GPS plotters more confidently since you know you could always do it by hand if you had to. This skill is an important aspect of many certifications and generally useful to any boater out there. With our tailored theory classes, we are aiming to back up the course you are already taking or to assist with self-study.

Taught by a professional skipper and RYA Yachtmaster with a love for sharing my knowledge with others. I have been involved in tutoring and assisting instructors ever since I started sailing and enjoy seeing my students broaden their horizons by gaining new skills.

Pulling from a variety of experience in this fascinating field of study, we are often able to go to a deeper level of explanation than a weekend class can. The lessons will be individually tailored to your needs and will help you master the skills of navigation and seamanship in a more confident way.

Examples of what you will learn:

Practise using a Portland Plotter, dividers, and navigation triangles
Understanding how to plot a „course to steer“
Variation, deviation, and leeway and why this is important
Course conversion, and why the conversion math makes sense

Custom tutoring benefits:

1:1 ratio allows for personalised learning success
Time to explain and answer questions in more detail
Detailed exercises and practical examples
