Onboard Practical Training
Training on Your Boat
Learn and reinforce skills such as: Berthing, Launching, Making Fast, Anchoring, Manoeuvres and/or anything you want to practice. You will see basic principles including natural forces on the boat (wind and tide), hull pivot point, rudder and propeller forces. You will have the opportunity to practice standard manoeuvres including tight turns, reversing and to deal with berthing.
You will be on the helm and will feel your confidence grow. A few hours might give you a short cut to skills that often take years to learn.
