Own Boat Tuition

RYA Motorboat > Own Boat Tuition

Overview

Course
Syllabus

Own boat tuition is ideal for anyone who would like to learn more about their new boat, or consolidate knowledge of a boat they’ve owned for a while. Training will be customised to suit your boat's capabilities, your skill level and that of your crew.

Having one of Urban Truant’s friendly and knowledgeable skippers on board is a reassuring ‘safety net’ whilst you practice berthing, anchoring, operating your boat at high speed, and more. Even just having someone on hand to help you go through the electronics or get answers to those niggly questions you have will improve your knowledge and give you the confidence to enjoy using your boat with friends and family.
 
No two sessions are the same. At Urban Truant we are responsive to your objectives and the itinerary will be shaped (and re-shaped) entirely to what you want to achieve. It can be used to train for RYA qualifications at any level if required. You can even take Yachtmaster exams on your own vesasel if it meets the RYA's specifications.

Kim - RYA Day Skipper

"I have come back to my studies with renewed enthusiasm having spent 3 days with Rich.
 
It all makes so much more sense and I understand the need for the detailed calculations in reality now- having been hit by a freak squal that reduced visibility and increased wind speed considerably, to say nothing of the hail and rain!
 
I wondered why people bothered passage planning in such detail- I now know!
Thanks and see you soon for part 2!"
