This year the club will be running an Autumn RYA Safety Boat Course. We are targeting those members and volunteers who will regularly commit to safety boat duties. The course will run over two days on:
- Saturday 26th February 2022
- Sunday 27th February 2022
To be eligible for this course powerboat drivers must hold the RYA Level 2 Powerboat Certificate and be over 16 years of age. Further details can be found here on the RYA website:
http://www.rya.org.uk/coursestraining/courses/powerboat/Pages/Safetyboat.aspx
The course will lead to the award of the RYA Safety Boat Certificate and is intended to introduce course members to a range of well proven and simple safety boat techniques which cover the most commonly found rescue situations that might be experienced in RYA Training Centres. The course is highly practical and participants must be prepared and suitably equipped to enter the water during the training sessions.
Course numbers are limited to 6 candidates per course and the course fee will be £50* which includes the cost of the Safety Boat Certificate and a copy of the RYA Safety Boat Handbook and DVD.
*The £50 fee is a heavily discounted rate for volunteer safety boat drivers and recognises their commitment to supporting club safety boat duties.
