Close Quarters Powerboat Handling Day

Get confident in the marina and beyond with some coaching on your close quarters manoeuvres. A non-certificate course for those who already hold RYA Powerboat Level 2. This course is very practical, spending almost the whole day afloat, and focussing on real life scenarios. The exact content of the day will be tailored to the attendees, but will focus on becoming more confident handling a powerboat in tight situations. The days are run by a qualified and experienced RYA Powerboat Instructor.
