Navigation course for long-distance adventures: A successful journey through the RYA theory course with MCO® Sailing Academy

As a passionate sailor with big long-distance sailing plans, I decided to brush up on my navigation skills and completed an intensive RYA theory course over the last few weekends.

The MCO® Sailing Academy , known for its high quality training, became my choice for this demanding journey through the world of navigation.

Under the expert guidance of Clemens Stecher, an experienced lecturer at the MCO® Sailing Academy, the journey into the depths of nautical theory began. The course was not only a preparation for my planned long-distance voyage, but also an in-depth dive into the basics of safe navigation.

The structure of the online course at MCO® was impressive. Each weekend was packed with learning materials, practical exercises and intensive discussions. Clemens Stecher, our dedicated lecturer, guided us through the complex worlds of navigation, meteorology, shipping rules and more. His experience and passion for sailing added a valuable dimension to each lesson.

The MCO® Sailing Academy not only relied on traditional instruction but also integrated modern learning tools. The materials were well structured and access to online resources allowed us to study flexibly between course weekends.

During the question and answer sessions, we had the opportunity to clarify any open points and benefit from the experiences of our fellow sailors. This not only fostered a collaborative learning environment, but also created a supportive community of aspiring long-distance navigators.

The online course prepared us thoroughly for the RYA theory exam and I am confident that the knowledge I have acquired will make my upcoming long-distance voyage safer and more enjoyable.

Overall, I can highly recommend the MCO® Sailing Academy and the RYA theory course under the guidance of Clemens Stecher. The combination of experienced teaching, modern teaching methods and a clear focus on the needs of long-distance sailors made this trip a worthwhile experience. I am now ready to sail the oceans with increased confidence and a deeper understanding of the art of navigation.
