rya yachtmaster fast track

RYA Courses

Fast Track can be a complete course or join at your level

Yachtmaster Sailing School offers a Fast Track for those sailors who already have some experience but little or no formal qualifications.

The Fast Track course is a comprehensive series of training modules covering all certificates in the RYA Sail Cruising and Yachtmaster Scheme as well as short courses in Sea Safety & Survival, MROCP (VHF & HF) Radio Licence and Diesel Engine course.

If you are an experienced sailor or have some qualifications, Yachtmaster Sailing School will go over your existing qualifications and develop a suitable program to help you complete the RYA Yachtmaster certificate.

Port Phillip is a unique sailing area. It’s a very large bay so we have rough weather, tricky sandbars and strong tides all of which will help give you the experience you need.

DO I NEED A MINIMUM MILEAGE AND SEA TIME BEFORE TAKING THIS FAST TRACK COURSE?

There is no minimum sea time requirement or mileage required to start this course. This course will provide the minimum sea time requirement to get you to RYA Coastal Skipper Certificate of Competence (a commercial certificate), but extra sea time is required for the RYA Yachtmaster certificate.

Our Fast Track course will provide you with approx 500 miles and 20 days of sea time and 14 days of classroom theory.

The RYA Yachtmaster certificate requires 50 days and 2,500 miles. The exam for RYA Yachtmaster can be taken once the miles have been accumulated. If you already have 1,500 miles and 30 days logged experience, by completing the Fast Track course you will have the minimum sea time experience to take the RYA Yachtmaster exam.

WHY DO I NEED A RYA/MCA YACHTMASTER CERTIFICATE?

This is the only certificate available in Australia that is recognised worldwide as a commercial ticket and is mandatory for work as a skipper on super yachts.

This certification allows you to work as Captain/Master on private vessels, commercial vessels and super yachts up to 24 metres. Over 24 meters and less than 200gt as Master up to 150nm from safe haven, beyond 150 miles from safe haven you are able to work as Chief Mate.

Note that all Masters and Crew must have the STCW10 short courses to secure work on vessels greater than 24 metres. We do not teach the STCW10 courses. For information on STCW10 courses, please contact the Australian Maritime College in Launceston, Tasmania on 03 6335 4711.

The RYA Yachtmaster exam is conducted on the water by an independent examiner. Taking part in or completing the Fast Track course does not give a guarantee of passing the exam.

The RYA Yachtmaster certificate requires a high standard of seamanship and knowledge. You will need to do a considerable amount of work/study outside classroom and sailing hours.

RYA Yachtmaster Fast Track Sail Training Programme

“Endeavour Sailing’s unique Yachtmaster Fast Track  Sail Training Programme is a full-time training package which will take you from an absolute beginner to Yachtmaster Offshore in 16 weeks.

At Endeavour Sailing we carefully choose our instructors, for their experience, their ability to teach, their patience and their ability to make each day fun.

The yachts we use are owned by us and our modern, well equipped, clean and comfortable.

With a dedicated shore side training room & offices, wifi access and world reclaimed marina facilities you will find the whole experience second to none (not to mention the weather – all year round sunshine!)

Our brochure should have all the information you require but please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions – we do understand this is a big commitment on your behalf, both time and money, and it is essential you make the right choice.

  Book Now

As mentioned ee appreciate that this is a massive personal and emotional investment and we want to make sure that you achieve the most from your time with us.

We have broken the course down into modules and unlike some school’s we certificate you along the way, and we include the following certificates:

• RYA Competent Crew
• RYA Day Skipper theory and practical
• RYA Coastal Skipper theory and practical
• RYA Marine Radio SRC Course and exam
• RYA First Aid
• RYA Diesel Engine
• RYA Sea Survival

The RYA Yachtmaster exam, certificate is not issued by us, but via the RYA/MCA direct.

We have also included a one week gap in the middle to give you some respite and you will find the course to be very much “eat, sleep, sail and repeat”, some time out is greatly appreciated.

All your learning will be monitored with daily and weekly debriefs which will be passed from instructor to instructor… having different instructors is a great thing as we all learn differently and having different styles of teaching and different approaches to skippering. We also mix crew so you get to deal with and lead unknown crew which really pushes your skippering and communication skills, a key thing the examiner will be looking for during your exam.

The area: We have a fantastic training ground, with excellent sailing conditions guaranteeing continuous sailing day after day. This is why many international professional sportspersons and teams come here year after year for their training. With wind acceleration zones we can also push your skills with heavy weather training.

All your accommodation is provided, except for the week gap, on board our boats, so no need to find alternative accommodation for the theory weeks. Our classroom is just 2 minutes from the boat and you will be issued with a key so you can access it 24 hours a day.

During the mile builders you will be in charge. There is an instructor on board for insurance purposes, and you will have to plan to achieve the mileage required, but the planning and running the week(s) is up to you.

We have designed a training centre based on the RYA Yachtmaster Fast Track Pro course, providing the highest level of facilities, accreditation, and equipment available in Gibraltar and surrounding areas. We can take your training to a much higher level fully in-house, without outsourcing to other centres.

We're here to help you learn everything you need to explore the world's oceans safely, and enjoy the yachting industry.

Unrivalled Academy Facilities

Yachtmaster Pro - Fast Track to success

The Yachtmaster Fast Track Sailing course is built upon 20 years of innovation and feedback from learners, instructors, and examiners.  Because of this,  you will benefit from features such as, for instance:

• More modern fleet of sailing yachts.
• Shore-based training and relaxation facilities.
• Highly efficient, intensive training methods.

The instructional team are experienced in delivering this unique training course, and dedicated to seeing you achieve your goals. Many Allabroad instructors have been with the academy for many years because they share our passion for success.  Because of this, you're trained by instructors at the much higher  'YMI' level, or examiner' level, for example. As such - this is how we manage to complete your Yachtmaster training in such a short time frame.

RYA Yachtmaster and MCA STCW Endorsement

Train at a recognised 'Maritime Academy' and enjoy higher standards, better equipment, extensive facilities, and higher qualified instructors with wider maritime experience. Take advantage of the on site training rooms, extensive shore based training equipment, and variety of additional course options. In addition to this, you will simply learn much more, in less time from instructors with more qualifications and teaching experience.

 When not out on the water you can take advantage of the dedicated shore based training facility in the heart of the marina, 24/7

 Yachtmaster with Commercial and STCW Endorsement

The STCW Basic Safety Training endorsement enables your RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certificate to be accepted more widely outside of British waters and on other flagged yachts. Because of this, you open up work opportunities on a wider range of vessels, including Superyachts.

RYA Accreditation 24 Years

Mca accreditation 16 years.

Without the STCW endorsement, maritime authorities outside British waters may not accept your RYA Yachtmaster certification for commercial use.

The included STCW BST package is a vital element of any professional skipper training course.

When comparing courses, ensure  you are comparing like-for-like as some courses do not include the FULL STCW Basic Safety Training package, and some do not clarify if the training is Yachtmaster Coastal, or Yachtmaster Offshore.  You may see similar looking courses that do not provide all the certification you need,  leading to a requirement for additional training after your course.

Essentially there are 3 levels of yachtmaster offshore, the Allabroad Yachtmaster Fast Track Pro Sailing course provides internationally recognised Commercially and STCW endorsed RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certification as per option 1 in the list below:

• Option 1: RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Commercially and STCW Endorsed (International Commercial Use) 
• Option 2: RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Commercially Endorsed (Small craft only, UK use only)
• Option 3: RYA Yachtmaster Offshore (Small craft, leisure use only)

Yachtmaster Fast Track Sailing Course Schedule

The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Fast Track courses start at 1800 on the first Sunday. The detailed day to day schedule is based around the short and long term weather forecast at the time, however we aim to complete the theory and safety elements as early as possible in the course so this can be put into practice at sea. When not at sea the training rooms are available to you for self study and revision. Although this is considered a practical course, there is also a large amount of theory to cover too, in terms of total hours learning the ratio is around 70% Practical, 30% theory.

Change of career

Never did I think I would I achieve my goal of reaching such advanced qualifications in the time frame I allocated myself.  As with many, Covid changed my view of what I wanted from the everyday.  The fast track course allowed me to change my path going forward to a more fulfilling direction, one that I could never have done without getting stuck in and completing in such a dense manner.

– Greg Wilkinson

Massive thank you to Jamie and all the staff and other instructors at Southern Cross Yachting! 10/10 experience from booking to sailing to instruction to food whilst onboard. Absolutely one of the best things I’ve ever done and now I’m addicted to sailing!

A great place to learn all things about sailing, experienced Captains who are only to happy to answer any and all questions, a great experience,

Well organized with a wonderful team and instructors. Completed my Comp Crew and looking forward to doing the Day skipper next.

We were lucky enough to spend a day with Jamie on Moreton bay and can’t speak highly enough about it. Three of us with varied previous experience of sailing joined with a father and son to share in a day of learning the ropes. The day was tailored to our varied needs and at all times we were able to ask questions and glean experience from Jamie’s wealth of knowledge. We would highly recommend signing up for a course if you’re interested in getting back on the water after a hiatus. Thanks so much guys! It was a priceless day!

Shorebased and practical courses are interweaved with short courses and offshore experiences relevant to individual level.  All activities are programmed to compliment and reinforce the previous learning module.  Participant numbers are restricted so progress can be monitored carefully. Our instructors act as mentors to the students ensuring that each individual’s learning needs are addressed. After all, your success is our business!

Accommodation

During all onboard practical training students live aboard the yachts for the duration of the module. When onboard all meals are included except for the 1 or 2 nights that we eat out ashore.

Pre-requisites

There are no pre-requisites for the course. During the course you will log miles and sea time required to achieve the RYA Coastal Skipper certificate.  For those who wish to do the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster exam additional sea time is required – a total of 50 days at sea and 2500 miles.

You need to be at least 18 years of age.

A medical by an MCA approved doctor, Sea Safety certificate & PPR exam is required for commercial endorsement of the RYA Yachtmaster.  MCA (the UK’s Marine & Coastal Agency) endorsement is a commercial endorsement to work as Captain/Master on commercial, red ensign vessels up to 24 meters.

Training Yachts

Alison Kirkwood course completed 15th July 2021

I am signed up for the Yachtmaster Fast Track and have just completed 2 x 6 days sailing from Brisbane to Yeppoon then Yeppoon to Hamilton Island (Competent Crew & Mile Builder). I have had a fantastic time and can't wait for the start of my next course in a couple of weeks. Our instructor Finn has been great - very patient, calm and an excellent teacher. I knew it would be fun but the last two weeks have surpassed my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending Sunshine Sailing School.

Sacha Berlinguette-Chabot course completed 7th April 2019

Great sailing school! Did a RYA Fast track up to Coastal Skipper and feel I've gained relevant and useful skill for safe and fun sailing. John and Carl and the team of instructors are very helpful in helping out toward your success and getting confidence in your theoretical and practical skill. Would do again in an heartbeat.

Terry Silk course completed 9th March 2018

Recently I had the pleasure of completing my RYA training with the Sunshine Sailing Australia (SSA).

Russia establishes special site to fabricate fuel for China’s CFR-600

!{Model.Description}

A special production site to fabricate fuel for China’s CFR-600 fast reactor under construction has been established at Russia’s Mashinostroitelny Zavod (MSZ - Machine-Building Plant) in Elektrostal (Moscow region), part of Rosatom’s TVEL Fuel Company. 

As part of the project, MSZ had upgraded existing facilities fo the production of fuel for fast reactors, TVEL said on 3 March. Unique equipment has been created and installed, and dummy CFR-600 fuel assemblies have already been manufactured for testing.

The new production site was set up to service an export contract between TVEL and the Chinese company CNLY (part of China National Nuclear Corporation - CNNC) for the supply of uranium fuel for CFR-600 reactors. Construction of the first CFR-600 unit started in Xiapu County, in China's Fujian province in late 2017 followed by the second unit in December 2020. The contract is for the start-up fuel load, as well as refuelling for the first seven years. The start of deliveries is scheduled for 2023.

“The Russian nuclear industry has a unique 40 years of experience in operating fast reactors, as well as in the production of fuel for such facilities,” said TVEL President Natalya Nikipelova. “The Fuel Division of Rosatom is fulfilling its obligations within the framework of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the development of fast reactor technologies. These are unique projects when foreign design fuel is produced in Russia. Since 2010, the first Chinese fast neutron reactor CEFR has been operating on fuel manufactured at the Machine-Building Plant, and for the supply of CFR-600 fuel, a team of specialists from MSZ and TVEL has successfully completed a complex high-tech project to modernise production,” she explained.

A special feature of the new section is its versatility: this equipment will be used to produce fuel intended for both the Chinese CFR-600 and CEFR reactors and the Russian BN-600 reactor of the Beloyarsk NPP. In the near future, the production of standard products for the BN-600 will begin.

The contract for the supply of fuel for the CFR-600 was signed in December 2018 as part of a governmental agreement between Russia and China on cooperation in the construction and operation of a demonstration fast neutron reactor in China. This is part of a wider comprehensive programme of cooperation in the nuclear energy sector over the coming decades. This includes serial construction of the latest Russian NPP power units with generation 3+ VVER-1200 reactors at two sites in China (Tianwan and Xudabao NPPs). A package of intergovernmental documents and framework contracts for these projects was signed in 2018 during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Customer reviews

We've chartered on several occasions and the yachts have always been great. We recently did a days boat handling refresher. Commodore maintained social distancing and protocols without making the day awkward or any less value. Just wish the weather had been better for July!

Fantastic experience. These guys go out of their way to make sure you have a good sailing holiday. Chartered a boat for the first time which was a daunting experience. But we were made to feel totally at ease. Had a great week
