Three-day Dinghy Instructor Course using single-handers only.

 

Course format

​

The temporary adjustment to the Dinghy Instructor Course will be a split of the course into two parts:

Part 1: A three-day Dinghy Instructor Course using single-handers only and including a moderation. This part is deliverable now.

Part 2: Two day, 'top up’ instructor training course in double-handers, un-moderated. This part can only be delivered once restrictions are eased.

 

 

 Pre-requisites

​

These remain unchanged. The course should only be offered to those who already hold the pre-requisites:

First Aid Certificate

PB Level 2 Certificate*

RYA Safe and Fun course completion and certificate*

*No action plans should be set to gain these after the course.

 

Pre-entry

​

To be completed in single handed dinghies only. Dinghies such as Pico, Zest, Topper, Lasers and Fevas (if sailed single handed) would be acceptable.

​

The pre-entry assessment needs to provide a clear picture of the candidate’s boat handling ability. This can be achieved by using the following techniques:

​

Tight circles (tacking and gybing)

Triangle course, demonstrating the 5 Essentials and stopping skills

Picking up a mooring

Coming alongside

Follow my leader

Adaptation of MOB, using a free-floating buoy or similar

Sailing backwards

Rigging, launching, recovery and de-rigging.
