Fishing Frenzy

Going sailing is an amazing experience as you can see lovely scenery and also get away from the stress of the city. It can be difficult to get into sailing in London if you don't already know someone that can introduce you to it.

However you can still learn to sail London even if you don't have a boat. The first thing to do is to find a sailing course London so that you can learn the basics and have a foundation of sailing knowledge.

The courses you will do will be RYA courses London as this is the sailing association that provide the courses and maintain the necessary standard of sailing. The sailing course London may be expensive but it is the best way to cover all the basics and know that you are getting taught by a professional. The competent crew course is good one to start off with as it takes you through everything from the sails, ropes and steering to navigation and emergency situations.

If you are in London then you are more than likely just wanting to get qualified and experienced to skipper a cruiser up the Thames. This would mean doing your RYA Day Skipper which is divided into two parts, the practical and the day skipper theory London. You can do the theory at your home in London or at a sailing school depending on your availability.

Even if you only want to cruise a yacht, there is a lot of knowledge required just to do that successfully. By getting the training and experience with one of the RYA courses London, you'll be able to safely take a cruising yacht out onto the water and be completely in control.

Some people probably see this part of sailing as the boring side as it is not very much fun. However, knowing the rules of the waterways and the distress calls will make you more capable to handle things correctly in an emergency situation.

Learning through the day skipper theory London is just the start as you then will get to put these things into practice on the practical part of the course which will help the distress calls, navigation and collision protocols to stick in your head. Knowing all this stuff means that if you were in a difficult situation you will be able to save yourself and your crew from harm and hopefully your boat as well.

Not only will you learn all the skills through doing an RYA day skipper course, but you will also have a great time and meet new people who also like sailing. This means you may be able to establish contacts with people who are looking for crew on their boat at the weekends or just have days out.

After the completion of your course you could also join one of the many sailing clubs that are available in London so that you can keep up with the skills you have learnt so you do not forget them.
