Likely participants:

The Powerboat level 1 course particularly suits kids, children or those adults who are keen for a basic introduction to power boating. Those considering buying a powerboat charter can get a good idea about boating by attending, and partners of boaters can use the course to acquire the skills necessary to handle a craft in an emergency if their partner is incapacitated. Those with their own boat, or acquiring one, should take the Powerboat Level 2 course (which covers things in far more depth) - achieving Powerboat Level 1 is NOT a prerequisite before attending Powerboat Level 2 training so Power boat Level 1 can be by passed if required.

The RYA Powerboat Level 1 course acts as a good introduction to the world of power boating. Run over one day the course's aim is to provide a practical introduction to boat handling and safety in powerboats. Your instructor will cover the following topics with you during your day with him/her:

  • Launch and recovery
  • Preparation of boat
  • Boat Handling
  • Picking up and securing to a mooring buoy
  • Leaving and coming alongside
  • Being towed

The shore based element of the day will cover personal buoyancy, insurance, loading and how this effects handling and performance, balance and trim, crew members, awareness of other water users, application of the collision regulations (IRPCS), local bylaws and accepting a tow and rope work.

Pre course requirements:

No prior boating experience or powerboat training is necessary.
