We have scheduled these days every few weeks but will also run them on demand too. If you are booking as a ‘two’ or want a one to one session then you can choose whatever days suits – subject to boat availability.

DEVELOPMENT DAYS - THE COURSE

The Course:
Powerboat Level 2 is a great course that develops really valuable core skills. The challenge after Level 2 is getting time to hone and develop those skills. Getting afloat on one of our ‘Development Days’ alongside an instructor is a really beneficial way to do this.

Your instructor could cover the following topics with you during your time with him/her:

  • Leaving and coming alongside
  • Using springs to leave and come alongside
  • Man overboard
  • Handling at planing speed
  • Use of waypoints and routes
  • Pilotage plans for harbour entries
  • Any other areas you wish to cover

There is complete flexibility in how we construct the day so the list shown is just a guide. The key thing with this day is about really building on the skills gained at Level 2 so ahead of the day let us know the particular areas that you wish to work on and we’ll construct a day that works for all on the course.
