Finally got around to enrolling on the Yachtmaster course I have been wanting to do for some time now. I have decided to do it via correspondence with the NMCS. Apparently it is possible to complete in 4 weeks but I am looking at more like 6 months as I plan to spread it out a bit. Leigh is doing a Coastal Cruising course that includes Day Skipper, Yachtmaster and some other interesting modules. We are currently planning to get together for a study session each week! Leigh’s blog is more likely to detail our progression as ‘Study Buddies’ Here’s to education! My course consists of 18 modules and his is 31 which gives some indication of how much more he will have the opportunity to learn. The only reason I didn’t sign up aswell for that course, is that I already have the Day Skipper certificate and did not want to repeat too much!
