RYA POWERBOAT LEVEL 2 COURSE
This course provides the skills and background knowledge needed by the competent powerboat driver and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence.
It aims to teach boat handling and seamanship in powerboats. It focuses on low speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planing speed, and collision regulations. It may be conducted in a variety of boat types, both planing and displacement. The certificate issued will be endorsed to show the type of boat in which the training took place.
At BCSC you will be taught in both a Rigiflex Newmatic 370 Console with a Suzuki DF20ATL Outboard and a Rigiflex Tiller Steer.
On completion of the course successful students will be presented with a powerboat level 2 certificate.
