Power Boat Training
Power boating - RYA levels 1 & 2 (Tidal)
This course is an introduction to power boating and is run using the club safety craft. It is aimed at complete beginners and by the end of the course you will have covered all practical and theory requirements to safely pilot a powerboat in protected waters.
You will get opportunity to learn skills both on planing and displacement craft. Subject to suitable progress you will gain your powerboat level two (tidal endorsement) which enables you to apply to the RYA for your ICC (International Certificate of Competence).

RYA Coastal Skipper & Yachtmaster Theory
This is an advanced classroom based course in navigation and meteorology for candidates for the Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate and suits those who have already completed an RYA Day Skipper Course.
On successful completion of the course, you will have sufficient background knowledge to skipper a yacht on coastal passages by day and night.
The syllabus makes some provisions for the revision of subjects in the Day Skipper Course but those who have not acquired the knowledge set out in the Day Skipper Course are unlikely to be able to assimilate all the subjects covered in this advanced course in the time available.
As you will be based in the Yacht Club, you will meet like minded Club Members whose passion is boating. Many skippers are looking for crew to club race and rallying and if you become a Member you can join the crew register and get an opportunity to sail on these craft.
Following on from this course you will have the opportunity to put these new found skills into practice on a 5 day RYA Yachtmaster Coastal Skipper Practical Course. Several courses are arranged by Sussex Yacht Club through Fairview Sailing Port Hamble Marina for the Spring or Autumn in the Solent.
