sailing courses

earn your qualifications onboard a course taught by Patrik

several times a year, I teach practical sailing courses through my friends at Go West Sailing, an RYA training centre in Scotland*

*Yacht Master Class itself is not a sailing school or an RTC.

Train hard, fight easy.
Autumn, Winter, and early Spring in Scotland is definitely a challenge with a rewarding potential.

Scotland is so far, and by far, the best training ground I know. I taught across Europe, parts of the Atlantic, the Pacific Northwest, but nowhere have I found such variety of conditions and scenarios that will support your learning. 

These courses are taught through the partner sailing school according to the RYA syllabus, and, upon completion, end with an official sailing certificate. For the best results, enjoyment, and in support of learning, a candidate should come armed with pre-requisite knowledge and skills appropriate to their level within the RYA Cruising Scheme
