I am trying to re-ajust to being off the boat,crazy when you know how small they are, but loads of fun.Well good luck for next year, I am tempted to just get maybee trailored to cornwall and start from there,6 weeks was just not enough especially when the the bad weather delayed me in port.

That's the best introduction you can get. The RYA method might put you off. You do need to know it, but you don't need to use it (NORMALLY, in reality). Get some boat time with a friendly skipper, and if you get taken by it, go straight on to the Day Skipper course. Don't bother with the competent crew in my opinion. If you can't teach yourself a few knots, then you have no business going to sea, to be frank. Ultimately, don't get caught up in people telling you what you must do, and how. You're supposed to be enjoying yourself out there, so my advice, is to hell with the misers, and just go and do it. You'll soon find out your weak areas, and then you can make an informed decision about what you need to know. When I get back to Essex, you're welcome to come out on Kudu. Good luck, you won't regret it. Join a sailing club, get talking to a few folks, and they’ll invite you out on their boats. That’s the best introduction you can get. The RYA method might put you off.
