Role: The instructor is a competent, experienced sailor capable of sailing a training boat in strong winds and handling small powerboats. The instructor has been assessed as competent to teach adults and children, beginners and improvers. See the 'who teaches what' link for exact details. Although responsible for teaching individuals and small groups, the instructor has not been assessed as competent in running a sailing centre, and should always work under the supervision of an RYA Senior instructor (for dinghy and multihull courses) or the chief instructor of a keelboat training centre.
Eligibility: Prior to the course candidates must fulfill the following requirements: · Minimum age 16; · Valid first aid certificate;*(See end of page for more details) · RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate; · Pre-entry sailing assessment completed within 1 year prior to the instructor training course. *Please note that if you wish to attend a coastal instructor training course, both the pre-entry assessment and Powerboat Level 2 should be completed at a coastal location.
Pre-entry assessment During the assessment the candidate will be asked to complete the following: · Sail around a triangular course of 100m (minimum) legs to the best of their ability using all the boat’s normal equipment, including spinnaker if carried. · Sail a tight circular course around a stationary boat, making only one tack and one gybe. · Sail a ‘follow my leader’ course behind another boat. The course may include all points of sailing and may be behind another sailing dinghy or behind a powered boat. · Pick up a man overboard dummy; the boat to be stopped and more than one attempt should not be needed. You may also be asked to complete some of the following: · Sail without a rudder, or with the tiller on a loose elastic around a triangular course. You will be expected to make good progress around the course in a seamanlike manner (not applicable to keelboat or multihull instructor candidates). · Lee shore landing and departure · Anchor or pick up a mooring - wind against tide (if appropriate) · Come along-side a moored boat - wind against tide (if appropriate) Recover a capsized dinghy and sail away (not keelboats)
