SMA Milebuilder Plus – Skipper Training & Mileage
Hochseeschein Theory graduates, RYA Yachtmaster Candidates, SKS / SSS / SHS etc. need miles AND practice. Existing options offer either one or the other and thus cause a higher expenditure of time. The Swiss Maritime Academy is therefore launching the new course SMA Milebuilder PLUS , which combines skipper training and mileage. Under the guidance of an experienced RYA instructor of the SMA, a 2-day skipper course will be conducted and afterwards for 3-4 days between 300 and 400 miles sailed (depending on the weather).
- Two to three days skipper course
- Three to four days of mileage (300 to 400 tidal or non-tidal miles – weather and cruising area dependent)
