RYA Powerboat Level 2
Course Requirements
Minimum age of participants is 12 years
Course Content
Close quarters boat handling
Planing speed manoeuvres
Man overboard recovery
Collision regulations.
Ability After The Course
Able to handle a powerboat in familiar waters by day.
Once you pass your RYA Powerboat Level 2, you can also apply for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC).
Our powerboat courses take place from both WFYC and Titchmarsh marina. We will be in touch nearer your course with the exact plans. Often the course requires transport between WFYC and the marina, weather and tide dependent. Our course instructors may be able to help with this but unfortunately they cannot be responsible for the transport of under 18s. Please ensure parents and guardians of under 18s liaise with the instructor at the start of the course in regards to what transport is required.
We are lucky enough at WFYC to be able to instruct in both wheel and tiller driven powerboats. So you can have the opportunity to experience both.
Clothing for Training
Clothes appropriate for the weather conditions- but working on being on the water can be up to 10 degrees colder than the land. Waterproofs are essential.
Trainers, dinghy boots or wellies for the feet
Hats- always a woolly hat! remember it will always feel colder on the water. AND a wide brimmed hat if sunny
Change of clothes and towel
Sun bloc – helps prevent windburn and sunburn
Packed lunch + drink and snacks
Medication- if required- clearly labelled with instructions and name. please make instructor aware
Pen and paper
Passport sized photo

RYA Level 1 - Start Sailing
A course for complete beginners. Learn how to sail in all directions and awareness of launching and recovery
Over 2 or 3 days, if the course is over 3 days it will be a short evening session on day 1.
You can expect 12 hours of tuition over 2 or 3 days. We run our courses on smaller instructor to student ratios here at WFYC to ensure you get the best possible experience.
You have the option of learning to sail in a larger, double handed boat with an instructor onboard for level 1, gradually moving out of the boat as you progress through the levels. If you sign up to this option you can expect 2 students to 1 instructor.
On the first day of your course your instructor will meet you and explain the aims of the course as well as discussing your own expectations and course outcome. You will have the chance to meet and talk to other course participants before being given a tour of the sailing area. There will be time to change into your sailing gear after the initial shore briefing so do not worry about coming ready to sail.
There will be a good break for lunch on both days and plenty of time for you to ask questions.
What you will need:
You are taking part in a watersport and you are likely to get wet, so always remember a change of clothes and a towel. Clothing for training – wetsuits are ideal, but if not, lightweight stuff that dries easily, with a couple of layers if it is cold, plus waterproofs.
Trainers or dinghy boots for the feet
Hats- always a woolly hat! remember it will always feel colder on the water. AND a wide brimmed hat if sunny
Sun bloc - helps prevent windburn and sunburn
Packed lunch + water or other drink
Medication- if required- clearly labelled with instructions and name. please make instructor aware
Optional extras: knee pads, sailing gloves
