RYA Powerboat Level 1:

This one day course is an introduction to boating techniques for launching and recovering a boat from a road trailer, everyday boat handling and the use of safety equipment. Most adults will usually jump straight onto a Powerboat Level 2 Course but this can be a great option if you want to train with a younger child on the water.
