Yachting NZ - Courses

Yachting New Zealand Seamanship courses are available in three levels:

Level one: Introduction to Keel boat sailing / Learn to Sail

Level two: Seamanship – Cruising Crew

Level three: Seamanship – Cruising skipper


These are courses for people who would like to learn, and put into practice, the necessary skills to take a boat to sea in safety and confidence.  The seamanship courses have some night exercises, which is exciting and quite different to daytime sailing.

The courses cover:

"Safety issues
"Helming a yacht under motor
"Sail selection, setting and trim
"Sailing manoeuvres
"Anchoring
"Planning a trip
"Navigation and related skills
"Dinghy handling
"Ropework
"Boat keeping
"Effect of weather, wind and tides

Crew and Skipper courses can be taken over three days.  Overnight options are also available.

Upon completion you will receive a Yachting New Zealand Seamanship Certificate.
