NEW TO SAILING?
We can't promise it will always be like this but wouldn't it be nice to have the know how. If you have never sailed, or raced, before, if you don't have a boat of your own - well here's your chance.
ON THE WATER SAIL TRAINING
For the experienced - and not so experienced
RADAR COURSE
When looking at a radar screen, do you understand what you see?
DIESEL ENGINE MAINTENANCE COURSE
Would you know what to do if your engine suddenly stopped while at sea! Do you carry out routine maintenance checks?
VHF/GMDSS RADIO COURSE
(run at various times throughout the year)
It is obvious that a large number of people who use marine radios have never been instructed in their use and would therefore not be licenced to operate them.
