Basic Seamanship: Understanding the parts of a boat, nautical terms, and basic boat handling.

Sail Handling: Learning how to hoist, reef, and lower sails. Understanding the principles of sail trim.‍

Ropework: Essential knots and rope handling skills.

Navigation: Basic navigation skills, including understanding charts, plotting courses, and using basic navigational instruments.

Personal Responsibilities: Understanding roles and responsibilities on board, including watch-keeping and teamwork.

The goal of the Competent Crew course is to give participants a solid foundation in sailing so that they can contribute effectively as crew members on a sailing yacht. It's often a prerequisite for more advanced sailing courses, such as Bareboat Skipper/Day Skipper courses, which focus on developing the skills needed to take on a leadership role in sailing.

It is the level of competence required when acting as an active crew member or watch keeper on a vessel in protected waters, daylight hours and in moderate weather.
