RYA Powerboat Level 2

This is a fully comprehensive 2 day course for beginners which teaches boat handling and seamanship.

The boat handling sessions cover preparation of the boat and crew, launching and recovery, slow and high speed manoeuvres, picking up a mooring, anchoring, towing, leaving and coming alongside pontoons and various 'man overboard' techniques. The subject of safety including 'Rules of the Road' (IRPCS) is covered in detail. Basic navigation with use of GPS, tides, weather and rope work are all topics included on the course.

At the end of the course it is normal to have reached a level of skill, whereby the RYA Level 2 Certificate is issued along with an application form to obtain from the RYA an International Certificate of Competence for vessels up to 10 metres.

Juniors from 12 years can participate in this course
