The cost of the RYA Day Skipper course will be £185 while Yachtmaster will cost £195, less 20 per cent for club members. The RYA training packs and charts are in addition - price to be advised but about £25. Tutoring will be by experienced yachtsmen Graham Bush and Rod Richens, club Vice Commodore. An enrolment evening for both courses will be held in the clubhouse on 18th September from 7-9pm when prospective students will be able to find out more about the courses.
