RYA Intermediate Powerboat

Fundamentally the course breaks down into two areas: Planning a passage paying due regard to all of the factors that need to be considered followed by the execution of the passage.

Course Structure

We will start by looking at many of the subjects you covered in Level 2 like navigation, compass bearings, speed & distance, charts and chart symbols, the use of GPS, meteorology, tides and tidal streams and so on. We will take these onto the next level and pull them all together to plan a passage. Whilst this will take a reasonable percentage of the day we will make sure we get out on the water too and practice some skills in the boats we will be using for the passage.
