The Yacht Master Theory course is the next course on from the Day Skipper theory course. It goes into a lot more detail to that which is covered in the Day Skipper theory course.
The course is an advanced course in navigation techniques.
The syllabus makes some provision for the revision of subjects covered on the Day Skipper Course but those who have not acquired the knowledge set out in the Day Skipper Course are unlikely to be able to assimilate all the subjects covered in this advanced course in the time available.
