About the event

Students will develop the awareness to use their own judgement when dealing with changing conditions and the confidence to take charge if out with a more inexperienced sailor.  This course is a big step up from stage 2 and practice between stages 2 and 3 is essential. By the end of the course all pupils should be proficient enough to be awarded a Level 3 Certificate. 

*Students will be invited to signing up to stage 4, if you have stage 3 you will be invited to do stage 3/4 course before continuing to complete stage 4
