A course to take the beginner to a safe and competent standard crewing a yacht. For those starting yachting. Often taught alongside Dayskipper students with both levels of students aboard.

This is a popular way for a beginner to start. If you have completed Start Yachting then you can go on to do a subsequent 3-day course which will bring you up to the level of Competent Crew. The alternative way is to go straight into a Competent Crew course run over 5-days or alternatively as 3 weekends.
