Fundamental Navigational Disciplines

These videos cover the fundamental navigational disciplines in the shore based RYA Day Skipper and Yachtmaster courses. These videos are very popular with RYA students and help them get through their RYA assessments. MCA students use them, too.

Included, we have a comprehensive series of Weather videos, Weather 1, 2 & 3 that take the mystique out of weather and give you a good grounding. Check the pressure, check the synoptic chart, look out of the window, marry them together and soon you will be able to predict the weather yourself. Failing that check your iPhone!

Also recently added, Electronic Aids To Navigation Part 1 and Part 2, covering GPS, Chart Plotters, Apps, AIS, ARPA, MARPA and Depth Sounders (and their calibration) to the list of videos.

What People Say About Us

Student Testimonials

“Clear, concise, easy to understand. What I wasn’t able to understand before, I now understand. And now I have passed my Day skipper theory "
DS
“I’m preparing for my OOW level exams and sail bigger ocean going vessels and I find these videos extremely helpful to reinforce the concepts and sometimes they clarify as to what to focus on”
HV
“I watched your video on secondary ports over and over again until it all became crystal clear – your calm sensible approach to dealing with the concept made it all seem so simple ”
JH
“Just wanted to say thanks a Million for all the Day Skipper tutorials. I’m part of the Lifeboat crew and a last minute opportunity came up to sit the exam. I can safely say I was struggling with my studies until I came across your videos. So thanks to you I was able to pass my theory in 10 days. Keep up the great work”
