Becoming a Day skipper
Last June, I purchased my beloved ‘White Tigress', a leisure 29'. designer sunglasses for men , I had discussed with my father a couple of months prior that I was interested in buying a boat and learning to sail. new oakley sunglasses 2012 , cheap oakley sunglasses sale , In fact I dug out some sailing monthly publications from 6 months earlier, so it had been plaguing my brain for some time. We decided that we would ‘leisurely' look at the second-hand boat market and weigh up the pro's and cons of various sizes , makes etc. We initially envisaged that we would look to purchase just before spring in 2008.
We purchased the boat a month after Initial discussions. I may have steamrollered this move but it seemed crazy to miss out on the summer weather and sailing opportunities. We sailed her from Newhaven to Brighton to her new home without too much fuss.
On our second outing, we faced some testing wave height and in hindsight would consider staying within the safe walls of the marina in such conditions. ? Upon our return we snapped our tiller off near the entrance, this didn't inspire me with confidence and wondered what I had got myself into. Naturally I am not going to mention how this happened, suffice to say we conjured up additional strength to steer injured tigress into the entrance which is not always a straight forward affair.
?Once moored I gratefully hugged the ground. Since then we have gone sailing a dozen times ?or so and ?even went sailing on new year's day. I think we were the only stupid buggers out there. But we had experienced colder days in December so by all accounts, it felt fair-weather in comparison.
It was at this point that I felt it would be good to become more knowledgeable and skilled being a boat owner and responsible for any crew I would have aboard in the future. And so I looked at the RYA dayskipper shorebased course. There are many sites that have good information about sailing theory.
