More than 11,000 people, throughout the world, successfully complete a RYA Day Skipper Practical course every year.
The courses are run by RYA Training Centres around the UK and overseas. Using a RYA recognised centre will ensure that you are taught to the RYA's high standards, and your course will be safe, informative and enjoyable.
Day Skipper Handbook - Motor has been compiled to complement the Day Skipper Practical course and draws on the cumulative experience of hundreds of experienced instructors. The techniques shown or described are tried and tested and are suitable for most types of motorboat.
I hope that you enjoy the book and find it useful.
