MINIMUM AGE10 RYA Powerboat Level 2"To teach boat handling and seamanship in powerboats."
COURSE DURATION2 days from 9am to 5pm depending on the group. In certain situations the course could be run over a number of days - perhaps after work in the evenings in the summer. The course will need to last longer than 2 days due to the slight loss of momentum when the course is spread out. PRIOR EXPERIENCE REQUIREDNo prior boating experience is necessary. The course equally suits those new to boating and those who have been boating for years. Most people take Level 2 and bypass Level 1 as it is not a requirement that you have Level 1 before you take Level 2. MINIMUM AGE14 RYA SAFETY BOATThe aim of the course is to introduce the techniques used in powerboats escorting racing fleets of dinghies and windsurfers, providing safety and rescue cover for training fleets, and assisting in race management. Techniques for canoes/kayaks and kite surfers will also be discussed."
DURATION2 days
INSTRUCTOR TO STUDENT RATIO6 students to 1 Instructor with 2 boats.
PRIOR EXPERIENCE REQUIREDLevel 2 as a minimum however it is key that your boat handling is good before you attend the course, as there is not the time to 'brush up' during it. Our 2010 Powerboat Course Dates
