RYA Powerboat Level 2

Courses are 3 days for members (2 day non-members). The taught part of the course is usually two consecutive Saturdays and requires attendance on both days. The extra day to complete the course is an opportunity to put your new skills into practice, by providing safety cover for an extra day (BO for SB course, ABO for PB2). This could be done, ideally, helping on an Adult Dinghy Course where there are instructors available and time to get some practice in.

Course Structure

Launching and recovery, boat handling, securing to a buoy, anchoring, leaving and coming alongside, man overboard, basic navigation, collision regulations, close quarters handling, high speed manoeuvres.
