Thanks for all replies.........I use several online fora, and this one is my favourite. There's always many people willing to share advice and experiences, very refreshing.
My ultimate goal is to 'live the dream' of retiring aboard and cruise the oceans, and I'm enjoying the process of gradually 'learning the ropes'.
I spend a lot of my time tutoring people in my own specialty which is CNC engineering, and I start with the theory, and then we put it into practice. The theory and practice are in essence the same.
I don't spend hours trying to cram as much information into my students brains that they ultimately will never use, this actually impedes the learning process.
It seems to me that a lot of the RYA theory course is taught to an accuracy that is in the real world unachievable.
This is probably not a surprise to those of you that are already putting the theory into practice, but it is making me wonder whether all of the hours which was spent learning these accurate calculations was time well spent?
I'm sure the fog will start lifting next week when I do my (RYA) DS practical course..........
Thanks again for all your helpful replies.
