RYA Intermediate Powerboat Day Cruising

RYA Intermediate Powerboat

The RYA Intermediate Powerboat aims to prepare a powerboat skipper to plan and execute short coastal passages in daylight. To benefit from the course you should already be at Powerboat 2 level and have knowledge of seamanship and navigation to the level of Day Skipper Theory. This is primarily a hands-on practical course with most of the training conducted on the water aboard our Humber 7.5 metre RIB. Classroom sessions are included to cover pilotage, navigation (including electronic navigation systems), passage planning, weather forecasts and IRPCS. The practical sessions will include execution of short passages you have planned in the classroom but you will also have the opportunity to extend your boat handling skills in a variety of situations. You will be part of a crew of 3 students and one instructor. We provide all safety equipment and waterproof clothing if required and you do not need to bring any specialist clothing or kit. The course is intended to build your skill and confidence so there is a great sense of achievement when you get that certificate on successful completion.
