Experience may be the best teacher, but you need a good grounding in several skills to enjoy your boating, in safety from the start. The best way to acquire those skills is to undertake some training, apart of which will also give you that all-important experience. At Coleraine Yacht Club we are currently running powerboat courses within the training programmes developed by the Royal Yachting Association.
