 | Last Sunday was the last day of our power boat handling course for May. Marc Tracy and Leigh Brennan-Smith were our instructors, with eight students in attendance. Two nights of theory sessions covered coastal navigation, buoyage, marine rules and emergency procedures. One full day of practical training using the club's rescue boats took the students through mooring, docking, anchoring, MOB procedures and high speed handling. |
Part of the outcome for new students is to also enable them to obtain their power boat licence. For existing licence holders, it is also beneficial for them to consolidate their skills under the instruction and guidance of qualified instructors.
“It was great to get out on the water and actually build your skills doing things again and again. The instructors were really good!” – Anthony Callanan, Membership Committee Member
