ryska yachter

Säkerhetspolitik

Putin fick den perfekta presenten av orbán, öppnar dörren för ryska agenter.

Risken för ryska sabotageattacker i Sverige har ökat, enligt Säkerhetspolisen. Myndigheten gick ut med varningen igår och gör analysen att det framför allt beror på stödet till Ukraina . Det största hotet riktas mot försvarsindustrin.

De senaste två åren har EU utvisat omkring 700 ryska diplomater, varav i princip alla bedöms ha varit underrättelseofficerare. Vladimir Putin har alltså förlorat en stor del av den utsända arbetsstyrkan, samtidigt som motiven för sabotage och spioneri ökat i och med det fullskaliga kriget och EU-ländernas stöd till Ukraina.

Ungerns visumregler

Men det finns fortfarande vägar in i EU för den ryska underrättelsetjänsten. Det största hålet i nätet är Ungern.

I somras införde den ungerska regeringen nya visumregler för bland annat ryska medborgare. De kan nu få visum anpassade för ”säsongsarbetare” – utan några som helst säkerhetskontroller. Det är en öppen kanal från Ryssland , rakt in i Ungern och vidare till övriga EU-länder.

Ungern sätter hela Europas säkerhet på spel. Det har lett till storbråk. EU-kommissionen har bett Viktor Orbán och hans regering om en förklaring, och tunga europeiska politiker har krävt att Ungern utesluts från den fria rörligheten i Schengenområdet. Men Ungern har inte backat.

Flera attacker

Riskerna är ofantliga. Ryska underrättelseofficerare kan enkelt ta sig in i EU för att hämta information, stötta andra som förbereder sabotage, smuggla in vapen och sprängmedel eller organisera attacker.

För tio år sedan exploderade en ammunitionsdepå i Tjeckien. År 2021 efterlyste tjeckiska polisen två ryska agenter misstänkta för sabotaget – samma personer som brittiska underrättelsetjänsten beskyllt för mordförsöken på Sergej och Julia Skripal i Salisbury 2018.

I juni tidigare i år startade ryska agenter en brand i en försvarsindustriell fabrik i Berlin, i syfte att störa leveranser av vapen och ammunition till Ukraina. Får två veckor sedan spärrades två militärbaser nära Kölns flygplats av på grund av ett misstänkt sabotage av vattenledningarna. Och den 22 augusti skickades stora delar av personalen hem från Natos flygbas i tyska Geilenkirchen, efter uppgifter om en förestående allvarlig rysk sabotageattack.

Även i Sverige

Det råder inga tvivel om att Ryssland har motiv och resurser för hybridkrigföring och sabotage mot EU. Nu har Ungern gett dem möjligheten.

Generalsekreteraren för Säkerhets- och försvarsföretagen, Robert Limmergård, säger till SVT att deras medlemmar märker av det ökade hotet genom bland annat intrångsförsök och drönarflygningar. De efterfrågar ökade resurser till myndigheterna, så att dessa kan dela med sig av information och samverka med företagen.

Det kan vara något för Elisabeth Svantesson att fundera över när hon och resten av Tidöpartierna knåpar ihop höstbudgeten.

Den 48 meter (157 ft) långa yachten Lady Anastasia tillhör den ryska statliga vapenhandlaren Rosoboronexports generaldirektör Alexander Mikheev. 

Yachten låg i hamnen Puerto Adriano i Mallorca, Spanien, då en ukrainare vid namn Taras Ostapchuk , som var mekaniker och har jobbat i besättningen i runt tio år, försökte att sänka yachten genom att öppna ventiler i motorrummet, rapporterar flera medier, däribland BBC.

Han misslyckades och greps av spansk polis under lördagen. I domstolen erkände han tilltaget och sade att han inte ångrade något och skulle gjort om samma sak.

“Jag tittade på nyheterna om kriget. Det fanns en video av en helikopterattack mot en byggnad i Kiev. De vapen som används är tillverkade av yachtägarens företag. De attackerade oskyldiga”, sa ukrainaren till domaren, enligt den lokala tidningen Majorca Daily Bulletin.

Yachten värderas till över sju miljoner euro, och Taras Ostapchuk släpptes mot borgen, enligt tidningen. Men enligt Ultima hora, en annan lokal nyhetskanal, ska han ha skippat att vänta på rättegången – han tog under måndagen ett flyg till Polen för att bege sig hem till Ukraina, då han vill slåss för sitt land.

Chartering in Los Angeles

Marina del Rey, the coastal playground of Los Angeles, is a yachter’s paradise known for its water activities. Bask in the California sunshine on the sunbed of your yacht charter in Los Angeles or go ashore to experience the famous laid-back vibe along the famous Venice Beach boardwalk, a coastal walk that runs along the coast from Marina del Rey to the Santa Monica Pier, full of stores and food stands.

Marina del Rey is North America’s largest man-made small-craft harbor. It is home to about 5,000 boats and is the major sailing and water-related recreation destination in the greater Los Angeles area. Its marina offers a mix of charming waterways, colorful boats, and a handful of waterfront restaurants, and is a berth to most luxury yachts in Los Angeles. Your YachtLife charter specialist will be able to help create your bespoke itinerary in Marina del Rey, so the below should be considered inspiration for your yacht charter in Los Angeles. Additionally, we have created a seven-day Southern California yachting itinerary you may enjoy.

Visit the Fisherman’s Village

One of Marina del Rey’s biggest tourist attractions is the Fisherman’s Village, located right at the marina’s entrance and built in a style similar to a fishing village in New England. It consists of five vividly painted wooden buildings, commercial boat docks, a water fountain, a lighthouse, and a waterfront promenade from which you have a panoramic view of the full harbor. Since most Los Angeles yacht charters depart from Marina del Rey, all those who choose to explore the Southern California coast will definitely get acquainted with this California yacht marina.

Lounge in the Del Rey Yacht Club

Marina del Rey is also home to Del Rey Yacht Club. It is a huge marina-front property where guests are able to dine in luxury, partake in water activities or simply lounge by the pool.

Cruise Along Venice Beach

When you opt for a private yacht charter in Los Angeles, you will most definitely board your yacht at Marina del Rey. As you cruise out of the marina, you will encounter the famous Venice Boardwalk, which runs along Venice Beach and connects Marina del Rey and the Santa Monica Pier. As you lounge on your yacht, you will be able to observe the famous L.A. scene: musicians, singers, jugglers, acrobats, mimes, comics, magicians, and fortune-tellers are some of the more conventional entertainers on offer along the 3-mile-long sidewalk.

Enjoy Santa Monica Pier

From Marina del Rey, it is only a 30-minute cruise to Santa Monica Pier. If yachting with kids, take the day to explore this iconic destination in the Los Angeles coast. Tender ashore to enjoy Pacific Park, a mini-amusement park with a Ferris wheel, a small roller coaster, other small rides, and the Heal the Bay Aquarium .

Go Whale & Dolphin Watching

Keep a watch out for dolphins and whales as you explore Santa Monica Bay; from Marina del Rey it is possible to go whale watching. Set sail through the bay and follow the seasonal grey whale migration during the winter for a chance to see sea turtles, porpoises, sea lions, dolphins, giant mola mola, and minke whales.

Soak up the Hollywood Glamor in Malibu

For a slightly longer cruise, sail from Marina del Rey to Malibu. Known as the home of many Hollywood movie stars and others associated with the entertainment industry, Malibu is also famous for its warm, sandy beaches. Drop anchor and tender ashore to spend the day lounging in the sun amid beachfront mega mansions. Later, enjoy sushi at Nobu Malibu .

Check out Catalina Island

One of the perks of a private yacht charter in Los Angeles is the ability to explore one of Southern California’s natural beauties: the Channel Islands. The Channel Islands are an eight-island archipelago along the Santa Barbara Channel in the Pacific Ocean, just off the Southern Californian coast, and the perfect spot for a charter vacation.

Rent a yacht in Los Angeles to sail to one of the Channel Islands, Catalina Island, known for its wildlife, dive sites and Mt. Orizaba. The cruise from Los Angeles to Catalina Island should take about two hours. Drop anchor at the resort town of Two Harbors for a fun day snorkeling in clear waters to observe Catalina’s thriving marine life, take the jet ski out for a spin, or step ashore at Descanso Beach in Avalon Bay.

Visit the Channel Islands National Park

A private yacht charter in Los Angeles will allow you to explore Channel Islands National Park , a marine sanctuary full of natural arches and huge cliffs soaring out of the ocean. Plan to depart for the park early in the morning and spend the day cruising and exploring the park’s unique wildlife. There are many animal species here that can't be found anywhere else.

Yachting in Los Angeles will prove to be an experience you do not want to miss and will make for lifelong memories for you and your guests. With a yacht charter in Los Angeles, you will enjoy the region as it was meant to be seen — from the water. You will be able to explore the diversity this region has to offer, from its glamor spots of Santa Barbara and Malibu to its impressive natural beauty in the Channel Islands.

How to Charter a Yacht in Los Angeles?

Chartering a private yacht in Los Angeles should be simple and stress-free.

Whether we are working with you to create the perfect itinerary or procuring water toys or provisions, at YachtLife, we do our absolute best to ensure your yacht charter in Los Angeles will be one to remember.

Lista över den ryska kejserliga flottans segelyachter

Listan inkluderar alla segelbåtar som var i tjänst med den ryska flottan . Listan innehåller inte information om flottans ång- och transportyachter .

Yachts ( eng.   yacht och holländska.   ja-gen - run, chase) var snabbseglande eller seglande-rodda en- eller tvåmastade fartyg med olika seglingsvapen , som användes för spaning och budtjänst, hydrografiskt arbete , samt för befälhavare för transportflotta, dignitärer och medlemmar av de kejserliga familjerna . Som en del av den ryska kejserliga flottan användes yachter under hela dess existens. Ryska yachter kunde beväpnas med upp till 18 kanoner av medel- och liten kaliber. Hof- och kejserliga yachter kännetecknades av lyxig inre och yttre dekoration, inklusive dekorationer med förgyllda sniderier [1] .

Listan över fartyg är uppdelad i sektioner efter flottor och flottiljer, inom sektionerna presenteras fartygen i den ordning de ingår i flottan, inom ett år - alfabetiskt, i en separat sektion finns fångade yachter, information om tjänsten för som i den ryska flottan inte har bevarats. Länkar till informationskällor för varje rad i listtabellerna och kommentarer till motsvarande rader grupperas och placeras i kolumnen Anteckningar .

• Antal kanoner  - antalet artilleripjäser installerade på fartyget. Om fartyget var beväpnat med ett annat antal kanoner vid olika tidpunkter, indikeras värdena med "/"-tecknet.
• Storlek  - fartygets längd och bredd i meter.
• Djupgående  - fartygets djupgående (nedsänkt djup) i meter.
• Varv  - ett varv där ett fartyg byggdes.
• Shipmaster  - namnet på befälhavaren som byggde fartyget.
• Servicehistorik  - större platser, datum och evenemang.
• n/  a — inga uppgifter.

Rader med tabeller markeras ibland med färger:

• - Hofyachter och yachter tillhörande medlemmar av den kejserliga familjen är markerade i ljusgult.
• - ministeryachter är markerade i ljusblått.
• - Guards yachter är markerade i ljusgrönt.

Sortering kan göras efter vilken som helst av de valda kolumnerna i tabellerna, förutom kolumnerna Servicehistorik , Capture details och Notes .

J Class: the enduring appeal of the world’s most majestic yachts

• October 9, 2023

Only ten J Class yachts were built before the Second World War stopped the movement in its tracks, but in the last 20 years these magnificent sloops have made an incredible comeback. Why has the J Class remained irresistable? David Glenn explains.

One of the most awe-inspiring sights in modern yachting is the Spirit of Tradition fleet blasting off the start line at the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. It happens every year at the end of April. Chances are it will include at least two J Class yachts, hitting the line on the gun at full tilt, exploding through the cobalt blue Caribbean rollers at anything up to 12 knots as they charge upwind.

Watching Velsheda , Ranger , Shamrock V and Endeavour will bring a lump to your throat, such is the emotion generated by these beautifully proportioned 130ft racing machines with their carbon rigs driving 170 tonnes of steel, aluminium and teak towards the weather mark. It’s heady stuff.

Watching them is one thing; racing quite another matter. In 1999 I was aboard the rebuilt Velsheda , taking part in the Antigua Classic Regatta. I had a single task as part of a four-man team – to tend the forward starboard runner. Nothing else. “Let that go once we’ve tacked and the whole rig comes down,” warned skipper Simon Bolt, as another wall of water thundered down the leeward deck and tried to rip me from the winch.

Dressed in authentic off-white, one-piece cotton boiler-suits, which had to be worn with a stout belt “so there’s something to grab if you go overboard”, they were tough, adrenaline-filled days out. God knows what it was like up forward as massive spinnakers were peeled and headsails weighing a quarter of a tonne were wrestled to the  needle-sharp foredeck as the bow buried itself into the back of yet another wave. Sometimes you daren’t look.

But with the race won or lost, back on the dock the feeling of elation, fuelled by being part of the 36-strong crew aboard one of these extraordinary yachts, triggered a high like no other. You knew you were playing a role, no matter how small, in a legendary story that began in 1930, was halted by World War II and then defied the pundits by opening another chapter 20 years ago. Today with five Js in commission, all in racing trim, and at least two more new examples about to be launched, the J Class phenomenon is back.

Why is the J Class so popular?

Why does a yacht with an arguably unexciting performance – they go upwind at 12 knots and downwind at 12 knots – costing £20 million to build and demanding eye-watering running costs, seem to be burgeoning during the worst recession since the class was born?

There is no single answer, but you only have to look back to the 1930s and the characters that owned and raced the Js on both sides of the Atlantic, sometimes for the America’s Cup , to understand why the class occupies a special place in yachting history. Underlying everything is the look of the J Class. It seems to transcend any change in yachting vogue, displaying a timeless line with outrageous overhangs and a proportion of hull to rig that is hard to better.

They possess true elegance. There is no doubt that captains of industry who want to flex their sporting muscle have been drawn to a class which only the very rich can afford and there are distinct parallels between J owners in the 1930s and those of the past 20 years. The difference is that in the 1930s owners liked to shout about their achievements and hogged the pages of national newspapers. Today, they are as quiet as mice.

Origins of the J Class

The J Class emerged in 1930 and marked a quantum leap in yachting technology, but comprised a hotchpotch of design altered over many years.

The J Class – so named because it was the letter allocated to its particular size by the Universal Rule to which the yachts were built (K and M Class yachts were, for example, shorter on the waterline) – emerged in 1930 and marked a quantum leap in yachting technology.

The so-called Big Class, which flourished in the UK in the 1920s, was impressive, but comprised a hotchpotch of design altered over many years. Yachts like King George V’s Britannia , built in 1893 as a gaff-rigged cutter but converted in the 1920s to Bermudan rig to rate as a J, Candida , Cambria , White Heather and schooners like Westward were even larger and more expensive to run. But as the greater efficiency of the Marconi or Bermudan rig became apparent their days were numbered.

One catalyst for the J Class itself was legendary grocer Sir Thomas Lipton’s final crack at challenging for the America’s Cup in 1931. He did so under the Universal Rule with the composite, wooden-planked, Charles E. Nicholson-design Shamrock V .

It was the 14th challenge since 1851 and the Americans, despite the withering effects of the Great Depression, reacted in dramatic fashion, organising their defence with four syndicates, each bulging with millionaires, putting forward separate Js: Enterprise , Whirlwind , Weetamoe and Yankee , which apart from Enterprise had already been launched.

Key to the American effort was the remarkable Harold Vanderbilt of the New York Yacht Club, who had inherited fabulous wealth from the family’s railroad companies, making him one of the country’s richest men.

Brought up on the family’s Idle Hour estate on Long Island Sound, he was a keen and accomplished sailor, and he used American technology and teamwork to build a far superior J in Enterprise. The defence completely overwhelmed Lipton’s effort. The British press castigated Lipton’s lack of preparedness and old-fashioned attitude. Vanderbilt, who among other things is credited with inventing contract bridge, left no stone unturned. “Mr. Harold Vanderbilt does not exactly go boat-sailing because summer is the closed season for fox-hunting,” stated an acerbic critic in the British yachting press.

Later when Shamrock was owned by aircraft builder Sir Richard Fairey and was being used to train crew for another Cup challenge, Beecher Moore, a skilful dinghy sailor who was draughted aboard the J to try to sort her out, reported in Yachts and Yachting many years later: “We found that when we got on board it was very much like a well-run country house, in that the gentleman does not go into the kitchen and on a well-run J Class the owner does not go forward of the mast.”

J Class tactics: Britain vs USA

A look at the huge gap between the British and American J Class tactics and designs in the early years of the America’s Cup.

In the early days there was a yawning gap between the way the Americans and British approached the Cup and, for that matter, how they ran a yacht. Revolutionary metal masts, Park Avenue booms to improve sail shape (the British copied this American design with their ‘North Circular’ version), bronze hulls that needed no painting, superior sails, and campaigns that cost £100,000 even in those days, blew away the Brits. Lipton had spent just £30,000 to build and equip Shamrock .

In the second Cup challenge in Js, in 1934, Sir T. O. M. Sopwith’s first Endeavour , also designed by Nicholson and equipped with wind instruments designed by her aircraft industrialist owner, nearly won the Cup, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory after leading the series 0-2. Sopwith was also up against Vanderbilt, who this time sailed Rainbow , which many considered to be the slower boat. But the British campaign was hobbled by a pay dispute – Endeavour ’s crew got £5 a week but they wanted a raise for ‘going foreign’ – and the campaign approach was again brought into question when the first thing to be stripped off the yacht when they won a dispute over reducing weight was the bath!

Back in Britain, the 1935 season proved to be the zenith of J Class and Big Class racing, although by the end of it the Js were under the cosh for their tendency to lose masts. Five went over the side that year and Endeavour II , launched with en eye on the next Cup challenge, lost hers twice.

There was added spice in the competition off the shores of the UK with the arrival of the American J Yankee , now owned by millionaire and Listerine businessman Gerard Lambert, who enjoyed sparring with the Brits. But even Yankee lost her mast and the press rounded on the class for being dangerous and wasteful! That wasn’t enough to stop Sopwith, whose tail had been extracted from between his legs following the last defeat in Newport: Endeavour II was towed across the Atlantic in a veritable armada that included  the first Endeavour. The British yachts found themselves up against the most advanced sailing machine the world had ever seen – Ranger , dubbed ‘the Super J’.

Vanderbilt was the man to beat again. Not only had he bankrolled the entire defence as American business remained beset by a struggling economy, but he used highly scientific means to perfect design. The brilliant naval architect Starling Burgess, who had designed for Vanderbilt throughout the 1930s, was now aided by the equally brilliant but considerably more youthful Olin Stephens. Between them they finally selected ‘model 77-C’ from six tank tested.

The yacht was considered ugly by some and not a natural to look at, but Vanderbilt’s team trusted the science (still the difference between the Americans and the Brits) and Ranger with her bluff or barrel bow and ‘low slung’ counter was the result. She proved to be dynamite on the race course and Endeavour II didn’t stand a chance. She was beaten in five straight races by large margins. The Americans and Vanderbilt had done it again. War then brought an end to an extraordinary era in yachting.

Only ten J Class yachts were built to the Universal rule and not a single American yacht survived. Most were scrapped for the war effort. In any case, the American way was to discard the machine once it has served its purpose. In Britain they faired a little better, and some Js were mud-berthed on the East and South Coasts. Two survived in the UK: Velsheda , originally built by the businessman who ran Woolworths in the UK (W. L. Stevenson named her after his daughters Velma, Sheila and Daphne), but which never challenged for the America’s Cup; and Endeavour , saved by becoming a houseboat on the Hamble. Shamrock ended up in Italy and survived the war hidden in a hay barn.

J Class resurgence

Seemingly resigned to the history books, the J Class made a triumphant return in the 1980s.

In his seminal book about the J Class, Enterprise to Endeavour, yachting historian Ian Dear predicted in the first edition in 1977 that the likes of the Js would never be seen again. By the time the fourth edition was published in 1999 he was quite happily eating his words!

The American Elizabeth Meyer was, without doubt, instrumental in bringing the class back to life when in the 1980s she extracted what was left of Endeavour from a  amble mud-berth, began rebuilding her in Calshot, and then moved her to Royal Huisman in Holland, who completed the restoration superbly. With the transom of the original Ranger mounted on a bulkhead in her saloon, Endeavour is still regarded as one of the best-looking and potentially fastest Js.

She was owned briefly by Dennis Kozlowski, the disgraced tycoon who ran Tyco, who famously said: “No one really owns Endeavour, she’s part of yachting history. I’m delighted to be the current caretaker.” Unfortunately he ended up in prison and the State of New York became Endeavour’s ‘caretaker’ before they sold her to her current owner, who has kept the yacht in the Pacific. She’s currently being refitted in New Zealand.

Ronald de Waal is a Dutchman who until recently was chairman of the Saks Group in the USA and has made a fortune in clothing. He has dedicated a lot of time to improving Velsheda over the years since he had her rebuilt by Southampton Yacht Services to a reconfigured design by Dutch naval architect Gerry Dykstra. Ronald de Waal steers the yacht himself to great effect and has had some legendary tussles with Ranger, the new Super J built in Denmark for American realestate magnate John Williams.

The rivalry between the two is fierce and even led to a collision between the yachts in Antigua last year. But Velsheda would have been lost had it not been for British scrap-metal merchant Terry Brabant who saved her from a muddy grave on  the Hamble and famously sold his Rolls-Royce to cast a new lead keel for the yacht. With very little modern equipment he sailed her hard in the Solent, chartering her and crossing the Atlantic for a Caribbean season, all without an engine! Without Brabant’s initiative Ronald de Waal wouldn’t have what he has today.

Shamrock V is owned by a Brazilian telecommunications businessman Marcos de Moraes who had the yacht rebuilt at Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth in 2001. He tends to keep away from the race course but with a number of events being planned in the run-up to the 2012 London Olympics he might be tempted back. The latest new J to launch, Hanuman, a modern interpretation of Endeavour II, has recently entered the racing fray. She was commissioned by serial yacht owner Jim Clark (Hyperion and Athena), the American who brought us Netscape and Silicon Graphics, and who remains a colossus in Silicon Valley.

Hanuman, named after a Hindu deity, built by Royal Huisman and designed by Gerry Dykstra, has had no expense spared when it comes to rig and sail wardrobe. Last year she beat Ranger in the Newport Bucket but in March this year she lost out 2-1 to the same boat at the St Barths Bucket. They were due to meet again with Velsheda at the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta in April. Another Dutchman, property developer Chris Gongriep, who has owned a number of yachts including Sapphire and Windrose of Amsterdam, has given the go-ahead for a new  version of Rainbow, which is well advanced in Holland at Freddie Bloesma’s aluminium hull fabrication yard. The yacht, reconfigured by Gerry Dykstra, will be in the water in 2011 with a full-on race programme.

About to be launched is Lionheart, the biggest J so far, redesigned by Andre Hoek and built in Holland by Claasen Jachtbouw, after an extensive research programme.  Unfortunately, her owner’s business commitments mean that he won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of this project – she’s for sale with Yachting Partners International and Hoek Brokerage. What an opportunity to join a class with such a remarkable history and one which looks destined to run and run!

• RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore Preparation & Exam

National Yachting School  » RYA Sail Crusing Courses  » RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore Preparation & Exam

Yachtmaster Offshore is competent to skipper a cruising yacht on any passage during where astronavigation is not necessary.

An RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competence is often the ultimate aim of aspiring skippers. It is a well known, highly respected qualification worldwide, proving your experience and competence as a skipper.

To attain the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore candidates must pass a practical examination of their skippering ability. A Yachtmaster Offshore is capable of skippering the yacht on extended offshore passages by day or night. He or she will essentially be a much more experienced Yachtmaster Coastal and can do the same things more smoothly, for longer periods and in more arduous conditions. The theory knowledge required for the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competence is the same as that for Yachtmaster Coastal, but considerably more practical experience and skill is required.

The 4 days prior to the exam is run along the same lines as the Yachtmaster Coastal preparation. Your instructor will asses your skills and address any areas over weakness. A high level of boat handling under various conditions of wind and tide is required. Navigation skills should be at the level of Yachtmaster/Coastal Skipper theory and a thorough knowledge of collision regulations is expected. Your instructor will tailor the course to suit your individual needs in order to prepare you for when the examiner steps on board.

After 4 days your instructor will give you a thorough debrief and you should feel confident in your ability to take the exam should you feel ready to do so.

During the exam, your RYA examiner will meet you onboard and talk you through the plan for the day. They understand that you could be nervous and will do their best to allay your fears and make sure you are clear about what they want you to do. They are there to find out what you can do, rather than pick holes. You will be asked to undertake a short passage, but you may have to plan a longer one. In general, you should skipper the yacht in your normal style. If this means putting the kettle on every half hour, then do it!

Your examiner isn’t looking for first-time-every-time success, but you will need to demonstrate competence and a good understanding of how the boat reacts at various situations. Don’t hesitate to change sails or reef, if you think it is necessary for the task.

Whether you are fully in command of the yacht is the most important assessment that your examiner will make. Especially with Yachtmaster Offshore the examiner will be looking for high level of proficiency based on broad experience.

Course Duration: 4 days for the course and 2 days for the exam. Most courses start on Saturday evening and finish on Wednesday afternoon, the exam starts the same evening or the next morning after the end of the course.

Previous Experience Required: 50 days aboard, 5 days as skipper, 2500 miles logged (min. half of it MUST be in tidal waters!), 5 passages of over 60 miles including 2 overnight and 2 as skipper. VHF radio operators certificate (SRC or higher) and a valid First Aid Certificate recognised by the RYA. click here for the list of acceptable first aid certificates

Course Overview: Preparation and brush up for the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competence. Revision of advanced skippering techniques, close quarters handling under power and sail, navigation and pilotage by day and night, man overboard recovery and overall yacht management skills.

Minimum age: 18

Course price DOES NOT INCLUDE:

• exam fee paid directly to the RYA (205 GBP for YM Offshore, 177 GBP for YM Coastal)
• examiner's travel expenses from/to th UK (estimated approx. 300 Euro, shared between exam participants)
• food, harbour fees and diesel used for the boat

Due to the coronavirus crisis, we are canceling all practical courses in Croatia until further notice. For new course dates, please keep an eye on our website.

Winter courses on Canaries

In NYS we believe that there’s no such a thing as winter in sailing and you can always find a good place to enjoy your hobby any time throught the year. So we offer popular winter courses again, this time on Canary Islands, starting from Tenerife because of the best flight connections.

RYA Sailing Accreditation Rated as the World’s Best

The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) sailing qualifications have been voted the premiere sailing accreditation for excellence and global reputation following a recent survey targeting 200 professional yacht and motorboat charter companies. The professional charter companies that were surveyed own and manage in excess of 6,000 charter boats across the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Asia.

Which yacht is right for my guests and me.

Allow your personal PYC yacht consultant to guide you through which vessel is best for you and your guests’ needs.

Is it customary to tip the captain and the crew?

It is not an obligation to tip the captain or the crew and is solely voluntary. If you find that crewmembers and the captain have performed exceptionally, and you would like to tip, it is customary to tip 10% to 15% of the total charter amount on your last sailing day.

To whom do I give the tip to?

It is advisable that if you so choose to give a tip to the crew, that you gift the money directly to the captain. By doing so, you will avoid causing discord amongst crewmembers and ensure that each crewmember receives an equal amount of the tip.

What is the cancelation policy?
