World Cruising Club Official Training Partner

Hamble School of Yachting is the official training partner for World Cruising Club participants. Established for 25 years Hamble School of Yachting has gained a first class reputation for providing high quality training to yachtsmen at all ability levels. The School runs the full range of RYA courses from their modern teaching centre in Mercury Yacht Harbour.

A number of specialist modules have been developed for World Cruising Club participants to enhance the training, particularly for those headed off on an Atlantic Circuit, or around the World.

Proper training is good preparation for any sailing voyage and whilst formal qualifications are not required to participate in World Cruising Club events, it is strongly recommended the skipper and at least one other crew member undertake formal safety training. The ISAF approved Offshore Safety Course is given as three individual modules, each a one day course.

The syllabus aims to cover: Safety Issues - including crew safety, safety equipment, and safe running of the yacht; Principles for First Aid whilst at sea; Sea Survival techniques - including personal survival techniques, as well as offshore sailing in heavy weather and seas.

World Cruising Club participants are offered discounts as shown below, on the courses as detailed below.
