Refresher Training
All members wishing to drive club boats must hold at least an RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate. However if you hold this certificate but have not driven for a while or have not driven a powerboat at Parkstone Yacht Club you may wish to receive some refresher training. This could cover
- Basic driving practice
- Manoeuvring in the Marina
- Gaining radio confidence
- Parkstone Yacht Club Procedures (booking out kit, refuelling, reporting problems etc)
- Driving the club Nelson's
- Advice on race management support (Mark laying, start lines, shortening courses)
- Advice on how to approach dinghies that may require assistance
- Harbour familiarisation (Navigation and Pilotage covering marks, sand banks etc)
The refresher training could be anything from a 5 minute brief, before going afloat to undertake your safety boat duty, to a full day on the water. Refresher training can be done in small groups or on a one to one basis.
Refresher training is arranged on an ad hoc basis at any time of the year, though this depends on availability of club facilities and instructors
All our instructors are happy to provide such refresher training. To arrange refresher training please use the enquiry form on the PYC RYA Powerboat Training Course Application page, selecting "refresher training" as the course requested...
