RYA Powerboat Level 1

The aim of the level on course is to provide a practical introduction to powerboat handling and safety. The course is ideal for novices who have no experience aboard powerboats, or other vessels. The maximum number of students on a course is three and this ensures that everyone gets plenty of time at the wheel of the boat.
