Power boat course

[BOG RAT]

I'm looking to get some sort of boat training to help me use my RIB in the sea as I am quite new to RIBs, I was told that RYA pt2 is the kiddie that I should source!! can anyone tell me if this is right? if so do you know an address or phone number? (in the NW area, I'm in Wrexham N.wales) Thanks.

two other guys on this forum are instructors who work out of Abersoch
Jono Garton and David Manning

Or possibly Codprawn in Swansea ( you'll need to supply your own boat)
Or Hugh Jardon in Surrey (you'll need to bring along a steering system,an engine , a pile of tools ,a big packed lunch and a sandwich for yourself)

As Rogue Wave said in N Wales you have: -

1. Plas Menai in Caernarfon
www.plasmenai.co.uk
01248 673943

2. Jono Garton @ Professional Powerboat Training in Pwllheli
www.professional-powerboat-training.co.uk
0845 612 6850

Hope this helps you

I did my level 2 at Plas Menai in June - the course was well taught and using good equipment, although, don't rely on their waterproofs!
The Menai is a beautiful area which added to the enjoyment, and there's some nice navigational challenges for us newbies.

Enjoy,
Tim.

Agree with others.
Well worth the effort.

Worth doing Advanced then when you have a bit of time.
A radio course is pretty necessary also

Most Instructors are also happy to do short courses on any specifics which one might find particularly difficult.

Best of luck
