Boat Handling Courses



 

 Why have training?

 We recommend everyone who buys a boat to seriously consider having a handling course.

 

This is absolutely essential if you are a novice or have only a little previous experience. Even if you have had several canal holidays on hire boats and you think you are a reasonable steerer, the chances are you have been largely self-taught and there will be big gaps in your required knowledge.

                                                                Tony Ward

 

 

To be properly taught by a skilled and experienced professional will make you a much safer steerer to the benefit of your crew and passengers, of other canal users and, just as important, to the well-being of your expensive paintwork! You will also find it will greatly increase your boating enjoyment.

 

If you have a partner, other family member or friend who is likely to do quite a bit of steering at times then it is a good idea to have them included too.

 

We are happy to give you the name of a trainer who will take you out on your own boat for a full day of instruction. He is Braunston based but will travel further afield. If you are considering taking the RYA Helmsman Certificate examination at some time in the future then an inexpensive session with him will give you an excellent preparatory grounding.
