During your 2 days on a Powerboat level 2 course we try and maximise your time out on the water. You will learn and practice a range of skills including berthing the boat in a variety of ways, picking up a mooring bout, man overboard, handling the boat at planing speed and will also learn some basic navigation techniques and be introduced to charts and passage planning. Poole Harbour is a great location for this course as it has plenty of natural training aids including a wide range of buoyage, different size channels, array of other water traffic and various different Marinas to practice berthing. Poole Bay which is just a short drive harbour gives us plenty of space to practice some faster boat handling in a nice open area.
