RYA Powerboat courses what to bring

Powerboat

Depending on the time of year, the Galley may be open for the purchase of breakfast, lunch and hot and cold drinks. If it will not be, you will be advised in advance so that you can bring your own food.

Hot water will always be available.

  • Passport sized photograph.
  • If you already have a syllabus/logbook, please bring it with you, including any certificates attached inside.
  • What should I wear?
    • Powerboating is a cold activity (much colder than sailing) so we advise to come well-wrapped up; you can always remove layers if you are too hot. It is much harder to get warm again if you get cold.
    • Buoyancy aid of correct specification e.g. adult 50N (one will be provided if you do not have your own)
    • Waterproof trousers and coat; wet weather gear even better!
    • Correct seasonal clothing and additional warm layers. Thin thermal layers are great for layering.
    • Appropriate enclosed footwear. Wellingtons, or shoes you don’t mind getting wet are good. Remember wet feet get cold, so dinghy boots, we find, aren’t great. No flip-flops or open-toed shoes please, in case you stub your toe!
    • Appropriate seasonal hat and gloves
    • Sunscreen
    • Water bottle
    • Change(s) of clothing
