Taking place from 8th to 12th April 2024 at Gosport Marina, PO12 1AH, this course will focus on instruction, coaching, and ensuring that you understand the structure and standards of RYA courses. With most of the course conducted within Portsmouth Harbour and one day away for night drills and pilotage, you'll have a comprehensive learning experience.

Don't just take our word for it, here's what some of our past students have to say:
- “I´ve done my theory and practical with Nomad and I think I couldn´t have found a better place to do it. Jim is an amazing instructor full of patience and with a lot of experience teaching and sailing which makes him perfect at what he does.”
- “Nomad (and specifically Jim in this case) ran a great course. It's clear that they enjoy both sailing and teaching and hand you the reins in an easygoing manner while being very clear about how and why you do an excellent and very enjoyable learning environment.”
- “I've attended quite a few courses in the past and above all else the quality of the instruction is paramount. Jim is an ex-school teacher, and his experience in the classroom shines through with his patient, thorough instruction and easy-going manner.”
