Do you enjoy, or do you know anyone who enjoys being on the water with friends and family but might want to learn a bit more about what is involved in messing about safely in boats?

If you do then the RYA Essential Navigation and Seamanship Course is just right for you or them!   The Nottage Maritime Institute is running the RYA Essential Navigation and Seamanship Course this winter commencing on 20 th January for seven evenings. The evening sessions are gently paced with time to discuss the topics informally and interactively. No prior experience is required, the topics covered will give you the knowledge you need to be a safe and useful crew member and will help you to assist the skipper in running the boat.It will also provide a sound basis for further learning should you wish to take on more responsibility afloat in the future.
