RYA Inland Waterways Helmsman's Course

The RYA's motor cruising programme is for those wanting to start cruising, or to expand their cruising knowledge. It encourages high standards of seamanship and navigation in pursuit of the RYA's belief that a system of voluntary education is more likely to achieve higher standards of safety than legislation to control and regulate our sport.

This two-day course covers basic boat handling, helmsmanship, safety and basic engine maintenance. It is ideal for the new owner who is conscious of the difficulty and potential hazards of boat handling in the marina.
