RYA Powerboat Level 1

This one day certificated course has been designed as an interactive fun day for children from 8 to 12 years. Most of the day is spent on the water teaching safety and boat handling a R.I.B. At the end of the day the exhausted children go home with a mine of information and a nautical 'goody' bag!

It is also an introductory day for the first time powerboat handler or a member of crew, concentrating on a practical introduction to boat handling and safety. By the end of the day, we will have covered launching and recovery, preparation of the boat and crew, basic manoeuvres at slow speed, picking up a mooring, coming alongside pontoons, travelling safely at speed and being towed. A session on safety including 'Rules of the Road' (IRPCS) is also included.
