About this mock

Difficulty: Beginner

RYA Day Skipper Mock 9 focuses on dead reckoning for learners working through day skipper theory. This round uses course, speed, time and estimated position to check whether the learner can apply the topic in context. The set should reveal whether mistakes in dead reckoning come from knowledge, wording or pace. It keeps dead reckoning separate from broader mixed revision so progress is easier to judge.

Topics included

  • Tidal diamonds for dead reckoning
  • Night navigation with course
  • Emergency actions in short practice questions
  • Course to steer using answer comparison
  • Buoyage for revision confidence

Common mistakes in this mock

  • Using the wrong time for tide height when reading dead reckoning
  • Confusing give-way and stand-on duties before checking the clue
  • Missing a harbour pilotage clue in timed practice
  • Overlooking weather changes during planning while comparing close options

Who this mock is for

Useful for sailing students revising chartwork, tides and coastal passage planning with a focus on dead reckoning.
