The IYT Master of Yachts Unlimited Certificate is a qualification that indicates that the holder has sufficient knowledge of celestial navigation, based on air navigation tables and to globally navigate using a sextant. This course is forty hours (6 days) of class work and assessment followed by the submission of sights and proof of a 600 mile rhumb line ocean passage.
This is the ultimate qualification for a sailor of small (less than 24 m) ocean going sailing boats but just another step along the long path of qualification in the mega-yacht industry.

The skills of astro-navigation have been known for centuries but the use of the GPS and other sophisticated electronic equipment have almost rendered these skills obsolete. However, if you want to hold unrestricted certificates of competency, reach the pinnacle of your knowledge and proceed along the path to mega-yacht competence the course is essential.

After being taught the skills required and taken in the sights, the candidate will prepare a submission covering sights, a passages plan and an ocean passage to be assessed by an IYT Master of Yachts Unlimited Examiner. Candidates who have demonstrated the required level of understanding and expertise in the course syllabus will be awarded the Master of Yachts Unlimited Certificate.

The holding of the IYT Master of Yachts Unlimited Certificate is restricted to current holders of a valid IYT Master of Yachts Limited Certificate or recognized equivalent.

 

We have comfortable accommodation at reasonable rates in the academy which is literally 100meters from the yacht marina.
