Seawake runs this from Menai Bridge, so you practise those skills on the Strait and in harbour rather than only on paper. Night cruising, including entering and leaving harbour and identifying marks by night, sits in the two days. 🌙 Key Details Duration: 2 days, usually 9:00 to 17:00 each day Meeting point: 40 High Street, Menai Bridge, Anglesey, LL59 5EF Minimum age: 17 years Recommended start point: Competence to Intermediate standard, plus First Aid and VHF Certificate: RYA Powerboat Advanced 🔑 Key Skills Preparation for sea, fuel and engine checks, and securing gear Boat handling in tide, wind, tight spaces and rough weather Coastal passage planning, pilotage, transits and high speed GPS navigation Night cruising, lookout and identifying marks by night Meteorology, IRPCS, engines and emergency procedures 👀 What to Expect Practical sessions cover preparation of the powerboat, hull forms and propeller configuration, power trim and trim tabs, and handling in tide and wind, including steering to transits, turning in confined spaces, berthing and picking up moorings. You'll plan a coastal passage that takes account of hazards, crew and boat, then use leading and clearing lines, transits and soundings as an aid to pilotage, plus high speed and GPS waypoint navigation. Shore-based sessions cover forecast sources and terms used in the shipping forecast, including the Beaufort Scale, synoptic charts, and what that weather means for small craft. You'll apply IRPCS at sea, work through propeller diameter and pitch, how to change a propeller, ventilation and cavitation, and the checks for petrol and diesel engines. Emergency work includes fire, hull damage, medical emergencies, cold water immersion, towing, helicopter rescue, flares, distress by all available means, and search patterns. 📍 Location Our training centre is in Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey, with a fully equipped classroom and access to the training boats within a five-minute walk. The waters here give you sheltered practice and the tidal Menai Strait for day and night coastal work. They say if you can navigate the Menai Strait then it sets you in good stead for any navigational boating challenge. Night sessions use the same harbours and marks you have seen by day, so you learn how this… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Use of Seawake training RIBs equipped for day and night training All necessary safety equipment, including lifejackets, buoyancy aids and navigation tools Instruction from local, RYA qualified powerboat instructors Course materials and charts Tea, coffee and light refreshments RYA Powerboat Advanced certificate on successful completion ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Lunch, which you can bring or buy locally Personal clothing suitable for all weather, including night sessions Parking at the public Pay and Display car park in Menai Bridge ### Kit list Warm layers and a waterproof coat Non-slip footwear Extra layers for night sessions Lunch each day, or money to buy it locally ## FAQs _No FAQs in catalog._ ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/c71236ee9a33e63ef38d2b1e8574fbdf/2024/08/325282711_515858023724731_5278279524245996171_n-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
