Sailing Yacht / Marine Boat Handling Skills

[Richard10002]

Hi, I'm slowly working towards my Yachtmaster qualifications. I have all the qualifying passages, miles, and theory and generally feel pretty comfortable on a sailing yacht in normal/moderate conditions.

I don't own my own yacht and I've charted in Greece a number of times but always end up with people more experienced in parking boats who just "take over" so I just don't have enough experience/confidence in doing that and obviously, that's key before I move on.

Can anyone recommend an approach/course for gaining this missing experience? The Solent is convenient for me and so is Portugal (long story....)

A week preparing with Rob and Jules at rusailing in Lagos, Portugal, will sort you out. They can also sort out the exam on the last day.

I did this with them, (on my own boat), in 2007, and couldnt imagine a better experience, (maybe as good, but not better )

Obviously greatly appreciate the 60% of posts objecting to the work parking but what you are suggesting @Richard10002 is even more useful I'll contact them. Thank you!
