Mile Building
Building miles is part of the sailing training experience. It’s also a requirement for the more advanced RYA courses. No worries—Mallorca Sailing Academy has many fun, exciting opportunities for sailors to build miles and gain valuable experience on the sea with a crew and with the assistance of an experienced skipper.
Why Day Skipper is the Most Popular RYA Course
Take the helm, command your own crew, and safely take control of a beautiful modern yacht with the Royal Yacht Association’s most popular course, the RYA Day Skipper Certification. Make the important transition from crew to skipper as you develop practical skills and build your sailing confidence with a fun, informative, 5-day, hands-on course under the safe supervision of qualified instructors.
