RYA Yachtmaster Ocean students may like to consider the following one day RYA courses.

Bear in mind that each of our practical courses entitles the student to a one day course free of charge - you may not have to pay for some of the following when studying with Mustang.

The VHF Radio licence is an essential qualification and a legal requirement wherever you sail.

The RYA Sea Survival course is a potential life saver and should be taken by all responsible sailors along with it's stable mate the RYA/ISAF Offshore Safety course.

The RYA Diesel engine course is very useful if you are not a natural 'tinkerer' with things mechanical and the RYA Radar course is ever more popular with radar becoming more affordable. Radar tends to be viewed as a collision avoidance tool but actually has a much wider remit as a powerful pilotage tool.
