<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are now pleased to be able to offer RYA Competent crew and RYA Day Skipper female only courses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a maximum of 4 students to one female instructor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many females would love to learn to sail but feel nervous about the perception that it is a male dominated sport. Also females tend to learn differently than men, and by offering female only courses, you will learn to sail and gain confidence with other like-minded females in an atmosphere that is tailored towards you as a female.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here is a quote from a lady who has asked many times for a course with only ladies on board:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“What a great idea, I would feel a lot more comfortable doing a course with other ladies. I always feel a bit nervous on board with men, as though they are judging me. This would be amazing.”</p>
</blockquote>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>RYA Competent Crew Course</strong> is a popular course and&nbsp;&nbsp;shows someone new to sailing the techniques involved&nbsp;and the thrills&nbsp;of sailing.&nbsp; Being blessed with a beautiful climate we can run this course fifty two weeks of the year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This makes Lanzarote an ideal location to&nbsp;learn to sail. When you´re not at sea there are also loads of great things to do and see.&nbsp; For example no visit to Lanzarote is complete without a visit to the Timanfaya National Park.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Competent Crew course is&nbsp;ideal</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list check">
<li>If&nbsp;you have no experience,</li>



<li>If you are moving up from dinghy sailing,&nbsp;</li>



<li>If you have had&nbsp;some crewing experience in&nbsp;the past&nbsp;but want to learn more and also want to understand&nbsp;why they are doing certain tasks.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By the end of the&nbsp;course you will&nbsp;be a confident and competent&nbsp;crew member, with&nbsp;the week structured to provide you with a balance of enjoyment, relaxation and learning in a secure&nbsp;and&nbsp;encouraging environment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We cater for the single traveller as well, and these courses are ideal, giving you the chance to meet other&nbsp;people and make new friends.&nbsp; Single females will always be guaranteed their own cabin.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&nbsp;You will learn the principles of becoming a crew member</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list check">
<li>Knowledge of sea terms and parts of a yacht, her rigging and sails</li>



<li>Sail handling</li>



<li>Tying the knots we use</li>



<li>Safety including personal safety, man overboard drills, emergency equipment and fire precautions</li>



<li>Experience living on board a cruising yacht</li>



<li>Rules of the road</li>



<li>Weather</li>



<li>Helmsmanship (steering)</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Course Overview</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the <strong>RYA competent Crew course</strong> you will be on board the yacht and you will visit many of the beautiful marinas and anchorages around Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Whilst at anchor you will have the opportunity to swim off the back of the yacht in the clear waters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our knowlegeable and experienced instructors are patient, reassuring and fun. You will also experience sailing at night which is an exhilarting experience.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The course also focuses on giving you a higher level of independence, crew management, watch-keeping routines and navigating in both day and night, which is often &nbsp;in unfamiliar waters, so a higher level of overall navigational and pilotage skills is required, so it recommended you have passed the <a href="/sailing_courses/coastal-skipper-yachtsmaster-offshore/">RYA Coastal Skipper / Yachtsmaster Offshore Theory</a>&nbsp;course&nbsp;prior to attending.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the successful completion of the RYA Coastal Skipper course you will be awarded the <strong>RYA Coastal Skipper Course Completion Certificate</strong> and will be able to skipper coastal passages safely and confidently.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You will then have the opportunity at the end of the course to have 2 days ashore (Saturday and Sunday) and explore the delights of Lanzarote.&nbsp; You could hire a bicycle (if still feeling energetic) or a car and travel inland to see the treasures of the island.&nbsp; It may be a trip to Timanfaya or a trip to Cesar Manriques house.&nbsp; Or you may just wish to walk the stunning coastal paths.&nbsp; But with such a wide range of activities/trips available it is the perfect end to the week.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The instructor will debrief you fully as the week progresses and ensure that you get time to work on those weaker areas. Before joining the course, students should have the pre-requisite experience outlined above, navigation theory to RYA Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster theory level and a thorough knowledge of the Collision Regulations.</p>
