Drive this Powerboat on Day One of
your RYA Powerboat Level 2 course
Course Information
This is one of the most popular Powerboat courses and is based on the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Coastal course syllabus from £210 in Southampton Hampshire. (Per person for a booking of three)
By the end of the Tec Rec Coaching two day RYA Powerboat Level 2 course from £210 in Southampton you should be capable of handling small powerboats safely and in a seamanlike way. (Per person for a booking of three)
The course is 100% training with any assessment built in, which gives plenty of time for practising manoeuvres and correcting faults.
This course subsumes within it the 1 day RYA Powerboat Level 1 course - so a direct entry onto the Level 2 course, without attending the RYA Powerboat Level 1 course, is acceptable.
"A really fun way to learn. After years of being on the water I have learn't so much from Steve. The course still ran with just myself - good value & excellent tuition. Thank you."

Drive this Powerboat on Day Two of
your RYA Powerboat Level 2 course
Only three to a course and you get these Powerboats, loads of space to move around and comfortable to sit in, all the latest Navigation equipment, touchscreen 12 inch plotters, AIS Tranceivers.
So, you drive both Powerboats over two days, why do your RYA Powerboat Level 2 course in smaller Powerboats, if you hire a Powerboat on your holidays it will most probably be around the size of what we train you in. (Availability of powerboats may change subject to servicability)

Shore-based sessions will include instruction in practical use of charts, fixed and hand held compasses, tide / weather interpretation.
The Southampton tidal waters are ideal for developing RYA Powerboat Level 2 skills and with a variety of moorings and marinas nearby there are plenty of opportunities to work on close quarter boat handling skills.
On the second day of each RYA Powerboat Level 2 Coastal course there will be a Navigation Trip from our base on the River Itchen to a Marina on the River Hamble where you can use the VHF Radio to arrange a berth to go ashore for lunch, the Passage Plan being put together by yourself.

Realistic Man Over Board Training
Introducing 'Fred Float' our 'Man Over Board' Manikin.
Designed specifically for 'Man Over Board' Training.
This Water Rescue Manikin evolved from a collaborative development with the manufacturers and recognised rescue professionals including the Royal National Lifeboat Institute and the British Navy.
Fred is unique in realistically simulating an unconscious casualty whilst in the water, floating at an angle of 45 degrees with just the head and shoulders above the water, he provides a challenging weight to haul out and position appropriately in the Power Boat.
Learn how to recover a 'Man Over Board Manikin' on our RYA Power Boat Level 2 course at Tec Rec Coaching.
