RYA Yachtmaster Development Course Cornwall
Cornish Cruising's Royal Yachting Association Yachtmaster Development Course from Falmouth is a comprehensive 16 week programme designed to take the student from beginner to Yachtmaster Offshore qualification. The key to this programme is quality training and experience. Many "fast track" programmes involve acquiring logged miles on long ocean passages, where the experience and skills gained are minimal. The Cornish Cruising Yachtmaster Development Programme provides the opportunity to sail some of the world's most challenging waters, where knowledge, skills and experience gained is maximised.
This is an intensive training schedule but, on completion, the Yachtmaster ticket will be thoroughly earned and your confidence in your seamanship skills will be soundly based.

Feedback from former Yachmaster Development Students:
"My experience of the Cornish Cruising Development Programme has been excellent throughout. The flexibility of the programme was important to me but also the way the programme had been structured and well thought through. I believe that I have gained a lot more than just achieving the qualifications, getting valuable experience and having a lot of fun along the way. I would recommend this to anyone that seriously wants to learn to sail - it is more than just another Fast-track course!"

"Many thanks for all your hard work, I have enjoyed every aspect of the fasttrak course. From sailing in a Force 9 to helming during a Helicopter Rescue Drill. I am currently delivering boats to and from the Mediterranean and enjoying every minute!"

Having successfully completed the Yachtmaster Development Programme last week, I would like to thank you and your instructional staff for a first class experiences which delivered beyond my expectations.
I chose Cornish Cruising for my course partly for your location and range of sailing grounds, but was delighted to be taught by the most professional instructors I could wish for, and enjoy a culture dedicated to student learning, which you have established at Cornish Cruising. It was also a huge experience to sail with the many and varied other students, from whom I learned a great deal.

I was really delighted to have discussed with you my needs to do the Yachtmaster Offshore Qualification, and even though i had already Circumnavigated Ireland in 2002, You found a program that fitted my needs to get me the Yachtmaster QUalification and then my Cruising Instructors Ticket.
I found your Instructors proffessional and willing, from the Classroom to Mileage Building, Your Yachts and Equipment First Class and you even arranged (apart from 4 Helicopter Lifts) some Heavy Weather Training, on several occasions when appropriate.
Thanks to you for all your efforts and the efforts of your Training Staff.
