get trained upNeed Help with Navigation? Don't understand all the rules? Want more experience handling your boat?
Heading out on the water with family & friends is one of the greatest leisure activities anyone can undertake. Doing it with confidence and knowledge makes the whole experience more fun, enjoyable and safer. Having an Australian State or Territory issued boat licence is a good start, but those licences do not give the skipper or their first mate the necessary practical skills needed to safely undertake a coastal passage, understand how to read a navigation chart, interpret the weather, tie a knot that wont let the boat drift off the dock or give you the skills and knowledge on how to anchor safely in bad weather. We offer theory and practical lessons to help make you a better and safer recreational skipper or deck hand on board your private boat, be it 4 metre runabout, a 30 metre motor cruiser or anything in between. Lessons include Coastal Navigation and Passage Planning Basic Weather Rules & Regulations Boat Handling Knots and Splicing Maintenance & Basic Engineering Safety Equipment for a safe passage And more ..... We can customise recreational boat lessons to suit your boat and your needs. EXPERIENCE Tim has worked as a trainer and assessor for the Australian Boating College, Superyacht Crew Academy, QMTS and Maritime and Safety Training (MAST), delivering training for both recreational and commercial boating. |
