Email RYA and ask support. If the course is still there, they will send you to the right agency.

You can't do the YM just doing long
passage. ( and actually you learn little on a trans Atlantic) the rules were changed to ensure candidates had several , often many voyages maki g up the 3000 miles.
Anyway all the tricky stuff happens of coastal trips. They're the ones that sort the
men from the boys. Tides, lights and shapes , night entrances to
ports etc.
