arrived and been welcomed to the centre your RYA Level 2 Powerboat

/ instructor that you will spend the next 2 days with! Spread over
two days, the course offers a huge range of the necessary skills
for owning or hiring a powerboat; From the excitement of high speed
handling to the satisfaction of completing a maneuver well, whether
