A fantastic weekend of sailing, almost 130 NM in all, with a relaxed, but fully engaging skipper. Great set up and brilliant on the admin. Thanks Stef, Tom et al!
I did a weeks coastal skipper course getting ready for my yacht master and I have to say it was one of the best training weeks I’ve had - our training instructor was superb, exactly the sort of person that you want. He could inspire, provide discipline and impart knowledge as well as let you learn through your own mistakes. Tom and Steph run an excellent operation there and I highly recommend it. They’re flexible and very helpful when it comes to your journey into being a qualified sailor.

The RYA Power Boat Level 2 is the most popular powerboat training course and the two days over which it is run gives plenty of time for both practical instruction and theory. Powerboat level 2 course aim is to teach powerboat handling and seamanship in powerboats. The course costs £90 to MYC members, and upon completion of the course you will be able to use all three club safety boats. There is then a follow on course available to members to give instruction on operating a powerboat, RYA Safety Boat.
This course teaches you the basics of handling a powerboat including safety and navigation. It essentially provides you with the skills you need to use a Powerboat in coastal waters or charter a boat on your next holiday.
When you take the course, qualified RYA instructors will provide training on a modern and fully-equipped powerboat. Your instructor will cover the following topics with you during your 2 days with him or her:
The RYA theory element of the PB Level 2 course will cover the types of craft and their respective advantages and disadvantages, engines and drives, use of power tilt and trim tabs, safety checks, personal buoyancy, awareness of other water users, application of the collision regulations (IRPCS), local bylaws, towing and being towed, communication with other craft, emergency action, distress signals, fire precautions and fire fighting, and rope work. This is a classroom based element.
ICCs are required in many European countries when using or chartering vessels. It shows your competence and is essential to skipper a boat in the Mediterranean or European waters. The Powerboat level 2 course suits those with extensive boat handling experience and those who have never stepped onto a boat before. On completion of the Powerboat Level 2 course you can apply for your ICC.
You do not need to have attended a Powerboat Level 1 Course in order to do this course. No prior boating experience or powerboat training is necessary or essential if you want to take the course, and it is open to anyone over the age of 12.
The RYA Powerboat Level 2 ICC Course suits both those with extensive boat handling experience and those who have never stepped onto a boat before.
A further consideration when attending the RYA Powerboat Level 2 ICC Course is where you take it as MYC a coastal based club we are able to award certificates with a coastal endorsement. This means that the student has learnt in conditions where tides and currents must be considered.

RYA powerboat courses are primarily for those using small powered craft such as RIBs, dories and sportsboats that don't generally undertake long or offshore passages.
The types of commercial craft requiring this level certification are typically: charter fishing boats, small passenger launches, thrill ride operators, harbour patrol launches, construction site safety boats etc.
If you will be using larger boats with accommodation and the capacity to cruise or work further offshore you are likely to need a certificate within the motor cruising programme such as Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster Offshore.
If you need a Level 2 Powerboat Handling certificate in order to work on a commercial craft subject to the MCA's codes of practice, you will need to get it commercially endorsed . You can then work on commercial vessels up to 24m in length, operating in category 6 waters - that is up to 3 miles from a nominated departure point in fine weather and daylight hours.

Former rya communications officer and editor of inbrief, emma slater, shares her experience of the rya powerboat level 2 course..
I don’t profess to be an amazing sailor, but I have completed a few courses and have some sea miles under my belt. However, when it comes to power boating, I’m a complete novice.
Working for the RYA's communications team, I’m often out in RIBs working with the RYA’s video producer, interviewing boaters, and taking photos. I have watched and admired the skills of our RIB drivers as they whizz around racecourses keeping ahead of the action and manoeuvre effortlessly into what sometimes appear to be the tiniest of gaps and gently apply the throttle for a smooth ride.
After numerous outings holding on at the back, I decided it was time I got my hands on the throttle, so, along with my colleagues James and Chris, I signed up to tackle the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course to get some skills of my own.
Hear how James, Chris and I got on when we visited one of our local training centres, Southampton Water Activity Centre (SWAC), where our instructor Jon Kirby put us through our paces and honed our skills to claim our PB Level 2 certificates.
Chris: It’s a course that I have wanted to do for a while as a sailor with access to RIBs, as it gives you an understanding of using powerboats but more importantly, for me, access to an ICC .
Emma: I wanted to take the course so that when I’m out on the water doing interviews if I needed to take control of the boat, I would know what to do. Also, I think it’s a really useful skill to have.
James: As the RYA’s video producer I’m often out in RIBs so I needed to know how to drive one in case of an emergency.
Emma: I was hoping that we would have lots of time actually doing the skills. I knew there would be classroom elements to the course, but I’m a practical person and learn best by doing. My biggest concern was the possibility of doing something wrong and crashing the boat!
Chris: Truthfully, I wasn’t expecting so much hands-on experience. I was expecting a fair amount of it to be classroom based, so was surprised at the amount of time we had in the boats. I knew the course was about boat handling skills and safety, as I have friends that have done the course. The only concern was how cold the weather was going to be!
James: I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but being a novice on the water I was concerned about the pace of the course and if I’d be able to keep up with the boating terminology.
Chris: The course I did at SWAC was a 2-day course. Firstly, we were introduced to the RIB. We were shown around all areas of the RIB explaining what things were and what they did, but most importantly the kill cord and grab bag . After this we talked through and then launched the RIB from a trailer. It was then out on the water where we did some basic manoeuvres so we knew how the boat would handle, figure of 8’s forwards and backwards etc. Then it was into the classroom to talk about weather and first aid . From here it was back out on the boat to do some tight space handling, followed by some slow speed approaches to a mooring buoy. We also discussed COLREGS in the classroom and when we were on the water.
On the second day we were using a bigger RIB with twin engines. To start the day, as a group we did some navigation work, planning where we were going and the length of time it would take. We were then off to the RIB, where we started with some slow speed handling in confined spaces to get used to how this bigger RIB handled. It was then time to fuel up which involved tackling a lock. From here we started our passage plan and did some high-speed turns. The emphasis here was about the whole boat communicating and being part of what we were doing. After lunch we did the return passage where we did a lot of man-over-board practice. We finished our time on the water with some final coming alongside practice and close quarters handling. It was then back to the classroom for a bit of rope work.
Emma: As you can see from Chris’s account it was a pretty full on two days but great fun. Our instructor was excellent at answering any questions or concerns we had and giving us all plenty of time to really get to grips with what we were learning. One thing I did find surprising was when we launched the RIB for the first time how easy it was to push the trailer with the RIB on it and manoeuvre it to the water, easily managing to do it on my own!
James: I was pleased that before we did anything we had a briefing with our instructor so he could establish what level of experience we all had.
James: I loved that the course was very practical and even when you’re not driving the boat you are always busy helping the driver and learning from the instructor.
Chris: I think the most enjoyable part was all of the boat handing I did. It was great to have someone there telling you what you needed to do, but also not being so involved that you weren’t feeling that it was all in your control. Probably the best part is when you complete your first small space manoeuvre.
Emma: Much like Chris I really enjoyed the hands-on part of the course, taking control of the throttle and making the decisions about how to manoeuvre the boat, park it, and turn it around.
Chris: I did have a bit of difficulty doing some of the slower manoeuvres like approaching the buoy, but the more time I spent doing these, the more and more confident I got.
James: The most difficult aspect of the course for me was the rules of road, but John explained it really clearly to me and kept reinforcing what he was telling me when we were on the water which made things much easier to understand.
Emma: Surprisingly I found it easier than I thought it was going to be, even when we moved into the larger RIB which did have me quite worried the first time, I saw it. But having John close by did help build my confidence.
James: It was easier than I thought. Once you have a basic understanding of piloting the RIB it then becomes more about the rules of the road and how the tide and wind will affect your passage.
Chris: I think it was harder than I was expecting, some of the slower speed handling was very difficult to start with.
James: Tons. It was a real eye opener.
Chris: I learnt a lot, the main thing being that you always wear a kill cord, but also some great techniques and skill of boat handling in confined spaces.
Emma: I learnt loads, especially the skills needed for manoeuvring in small spaces and bringing the boat alongside and the importance of always wearing a kill cord and communicating with others on board.
James: I think anyone that’s thinking about putting themselves at the controls of a RIB needs to go on this course, for their own safety and the safety of their passengers.
Emma: The course gives you a really good appreciation of how important it is to know what you are doing when out on the water and build knowledge and confidence handling your boat.
Chris: It’s a great way for people to learn about using RIBs and powerboats and gain experience and knowledge that will make them safe on the water. I personally think all boat owners should have a qualification like this.
Emma: It means that when we have to go interview, film or photograph people on the water I can drive one of the RYA RIBs and not always have to rely on a third party to take us.
Chris: I have gained an ICC so I will hopefully be using my PB2 qualification when on honeymoon this year, but mainly, it’s to support the team when they have filming/interviewing duties on the water.
James: The general understanding I have gained from attending the course has given me the basic skills to drive the RIB and what to do in an emergency and how to avoid those situations in the first place.
Chris: I'm thinking about doing the Advanced or Safety Boat courses next.
What would you say to someone else thinking about taking the course?
Emma: Just do it. You’d be surprised what you can achieve in just two days. The course is full on but loads of fun and you’ll come away with loads of new skills.
Chris: Do it, it’s a lot of fun and a great way to learn something on the water in two days that gives you an internationally accepted qualification.
