2021 RYA Safety Boat Course

This two-day course provides the skills required when acting as an escort craft, safety boat or coach boat for a fleet of dinghies, windsurfers or canoes, or for racing or training activities. It includes rescue techniques and elements of race management and mark laying. Preparation, boat handling, dinghy rescue, windsurfer rescue, kayak or canoe rescue (can be covered as theory), towing, end-of-day procedures, safety, suitability of craft, local factors, communication, rescuing other water users. At the end of the course you will be able to provide safety or support cover to a range of craft, particularly sailing or windsurfing.

The qualification it provides is a prerequisite if you want to become an RYA Senior Instructor. We are offering it to members at £100. This is less than half the prices charged elsewhere to encourage WWSC members to gain this qualification.

It is strongly recommended that participants hold a first aid certificate.

Students need to be aged 16 or over and have held an RYA Powerboat Level 2 Certificate for at least 1 year.
