Power
Boating
Powerboating
is an exhilarating, fun and often fast activity. In recent years the number
of people involved in the sport has multiplied. Drivers of high-speed
powerboats have a great responsibility towards other water users and it
has never been more important to acquire the skills to make the sport
safer and enjoyable for all.
The RYA Powerboat
Scheme has been developed to advise you of that responsibility at the
same time as training you to handle your boat in a seaman-like manner,
so that you and your passengers can all enjoy being afloat. The scheme
meets the needs of those who use small, open powerboats for a variety
of sporting uses.
