關於RYA
The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is a United Kingdom national body for dinghy sailing, yacht and motor cruising, sail racing, RIBs and Sportsboats, windsurfing and personal watercraft and a leading representative for inland waterways cruising.It is the national governing body for Olympic sailing in the UK.
關於RYA Dayskipper
The Day Skipper qualification confirms that the successful candidate has the knowledge needed to skipper a yacht on shorter, coastal cruises during daylight. The Royal Yachting Association administers the qualification, although most of the training is carried out by private companies.
It is a part of a series of qualifications that include Competent Crew, Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster. While the qualification is primarily for the United Kingdom, it is widely recognised internationally.
The course has two elements, a theory and practical. Candidates must complete the theory part of the course first to be able to apply this knowledge during the practical course.
Some sailing Schools holding RYA recognition may allow Day Skipper training without first taking the shore-based course, if the student can navigate up to Day Skipper standards. However, theory knowledge will still be tested while out on the water.
RYA Day Skipper Theory Syllabus（課程大綱）
Basics
General seamanship; parts of the boat; tying up alongside; preparation for sea; knots and tacking.
Navigation
Using charts; depth contours' three-point fix; plotting a course to steer allowing for tidal set and drift; position fixing by various means and estimated position, taking into account tidal set and drift.
Tidal streams
Tidal streams to plot courses to steer and for estimating position:
Using a tidal diamond table and the tidal stream atlas, to work out the tidal set and drift for various times of day and compensating for spring and neap tides.
Passage planning
An introduction to planning short daytime passages using waypoints and visual aids.
Tidal heights
Working out the height of tide for entering ports, crossing shallows and avoiding grounding:using the tidal height tables, allowing for springs and neap tides; basic secondary port calculations, allowing for time differences.
Collision regulations
Basic collision regulations: collision avoidance; the correct lights to use; how to identify types of vessels from their lights; how to recognise a vessel by its day shapes, and what day shapes to use for various situations; sound signals and their uses.
Electronic navigation
Using onboard electronic equipment: chart plotters; depth / wind instruments and more.
Weather
Causes of weather systems: reading and taking into account present and future weather forecasts; understanding weather charts and sources of weather information.
Buoyage
How to recognise buoys by their characteristics: shape; colour; action to take when approaching one.
Safety
Basic safety at sea: using life rafts; life jackets; how to handle and use flares; types of firefighting equipment and fire prevention; how to make mayday calls and ways of making other vessel aware that there is a mayday situation.
Passage planning
An introduction to planning short daytime passages using waypoints and visual aids.
