If you are using a boat, you will need to know how to find out your position and orientate yourself. Navigation is important when sailing because it makes you understand how to get to your destination. Essential navigation gives you the opportunity to learn the basics of navigation, chartwork and sea orientation. Through this course, you will learn: basic navigation, seamanship and ropework. At the end of this course, you will be able to succeed, pass the test, and get certified in Essential Navigation by the RYA (Royal Yachting Association).
