"Before I joined, I asked myself why a full 5 days would be necessary to learn Celestial Navigation. What would we do during the remaining 4 days?

How wrong could I have been?! The subject is way more complex than expected. Luckily, all these rather dry figures and calculations we brought to life by Leon’s highly lively way to explain complex issues in an understandable and fun way.

Leon is a master of didactics, teaching in a refreshing and fun way, packaged with a lot of humour. I became so gripped by the subjects and fascinated by how fun and easy it was to learn celestial navigation with Leon.

It would certainly be possible to learn celestial navigation in other courses, online or by yourself, but why would you? With Leon it is so much more entertaining and imore efficient to learn.

Besides, the RYA Yachtmaster Ocean course is all about ocean sailing and not solely celestial navigation, but that’s what fascinated me the most.

The many interesting discussions with all participants during the joint dinners was the final touch of this most valuable course!"
