WELCOME TO YACHTMASTER OCEAN SAILING SCHOOL OUR SCHOOL was established in 1990 by Henton Jaaback. Henton was the first RYA Instructor in South Africa and the first RYA Examiner in the Southern Hemisphere. Henton set new standards for sail training tuition in South Africa and his books and CD's are well known and respected. He still teaches Theory modules for the school. We continue to uphold and improve upon the standards he set. OUR GUARANTEE is that you will receive the best sail training available and that you will reach your qualification objectives. We consistently achieve one of the highest pass rates in the RYA scheme, and our students are highly sought after. OUR YACHTS are fully equipped sail training vessels inspected annually and approved by both the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) and the Royal Yachting Association (RYA). All yachts carry a full inventory of sails, including spinnakers, roller furlers and storm jibs. The navigation equipment includes latest generation RADAR, MARPA, AIS, GPS and Chartplotters. You will receive training on all of these. Safety equipment includes liferafts, drogues and sea anchors, in addition to the RYA and SAMSA prescribed safety equipment.
