This will all be done within the River Mersey, making it as real life as possible for when you decide to start boating solo. You will stop for lunch to cement your new found skills before we take back to the water for more slow speed manoeuvres.
The second day will start with a theory session before departing down the river for more manoeuvring,The second day will finish up with some high speed manoeuvres and man over board techniques before we depart back to our private slipway for course debriefing and certificates.
