The aim of this course is to provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to
safely navigate a boat by day and by night in coastal waters with which you are familiar. It
is intended as preparation for:
• ISA Advanced Sailing Certificate (sailing dinghies, keelboats or catamarans).
• ISA Advanced Powerboat Certificate (open powerboats).
Participants should have completed either:
• ISA National Powerboat Certificate (open powerboats)
• ISA Improving Skills Certificate (sailing dinghies, keelboats or catamarans)
• ISA Competent Crew Certificate (sailing yachts)
• ISA Helmsman Certificate (motor yachts).
Duration:
The Coastal Navigation for Small Boats would normally consist of a minimum of 8 hours
contact time. However, the length of the course may be extended where it suits, or is
necessary, for participants to take a more relaxed approach to the programme.
Mountain Navigation Training
Walking is one of the most popular leisure activities. Part of the attraction of the hills is their fickle character, a calm day, a storm with wind & rain and mist can all be thrown into the mix. There are some basic skills that can be taught on this one day introductory course which will help you Navigate on the hills.
- Personal Equipment
- What to carry
- Maps
- The scales
- Signs & symbols. Contours
- The grid system
- Relating the map and land to each other
- Using A Compass
- Following a Bearing
- Dealing With Incidents
This can be run as a one/two day course which will have a class room element to it, but 2/3 will be spent on the hills.
Mountain Bike Training
With Mountain Biking growing as a sport and a large number of trails opening, this day course is well suited for the person who wants to learn new skills, trails and have a fun day out.
