Competent Crew

Competent Crew refers to a maritime qualification that prepares individuals to join a sailing yacht as crew members. It covers basic skills such as managing sails, steering, navigation, safety procedures, and handling emergencies. Achieving this status demonstrates a foundational understanding of safe and effective boat operation, enabling crew members to support the Skipper and confidently participate in day-to-day sailing activities. It is suitable for those new to boating who want to gain practical knowledge and skills for recreational sailing and is often a stepping stone toward more advanced certifications.
