The course is appeals to a variety of individuals: 1) Those new to boating
keen to ensure that as they start boating they are 'doing it right'. The
course focuses on ensuring that you develop a really good base understanding
of boat handling, navigation and seamanship. After the course you can then
'bolt on' more practical experience to really cement the knowledge gained on
the course.
2) Those who have boated for a while who want to develop and improve
their skills. Typically we find this involves a keenness to develop a better
understanding of navigation and the practical application of this knowledge
using GPS/Chartplotters and radar. Also the time spent developing boat
handling capability is time well spent.
3) Those keen to boat overseas and want to achieve their ICC but don't
have the theory and navigation experience to undertake an ICC assessment.

handling and all aspects of planning and executing passages. Time is spent
looking at charts and tides, passage planning, pilotage and subjects such as
