LATEST NEWSRYA Powerboat Level 2 and Safety Boat coursesBTYC will be running a RYA Level 1/2 Powerboat and a RYA Safety Boat course this autumn. Each will take place on a Saturday and Sunday. The cost is £100 each. We will be using a RIB & a dory on both. The dates are: The Level 1/2 course is now full but we have a waiting list. There is still 1 vacancy for the Safety Boat course but you must have a Level 2 Powerboat certificate and sufficient experience to safely manoeuvre near people in the water. If you are interested in either, please contact Bob Jack on 020 8883 2835 or click to email.
Free powerboat refresher trainingWe are running free refresher training for members with RYA level 2 or Safety Boat qualifications but who are "rusty". This is in sessions of about 2 hours on the water with Manfred Starkl or Bob Jack, both RYA qualified powerboat instructors, at mutually convenient times but mainly on Thursday evenings. If you are interested, please contact Bob Jack on 020 8883 2835 or click to email. Please let him know when you are available and any particular aspects that you want to cover.
RACING RULE CHANGEThe Introduction of the 2009-12 Racing Rules includes the following change: "The size of 'zones' at marks has been increased to three hull lengths. There is no longer a 'Two-length zone', just a zone which is defined as 'The area around a mark within a distance of three hull lengths of the boat nearer to it'. A boat is in the zone when any part of her hull is in the zone." Although there is an option to change this, BTYC and Seahorse have decided after trials to keep to 3 hull lengths.
