Tops. No complaints at all. Katinka was an excellent instructor who told us everything we need to know, explained the technical information in layman’s terms, made us practise tricky manoeuvres over and over again until we got the hang of them, and above all made it all a lot of fun. Very safety-conscious too, which is encouraging. I can recommend this course unreservedly to anyone looking to build expertise in powerboat handling.
Strengths
Technical expertise in every area; focus on safety; good communication; good at identifying a student’s weak spots and correcting them, in the theory and on the water; made the course enjoyable and fun.
Advice for improvement
Nothing really. I felt the course itself was markedly better than the RYA brochure given to us for homework, but the follow-up explanations always clarified things.
