The club is to run a Formal RYA Safety Boat course (takes two days). We have chosen the weekend after Easter (7 & 8 April). We request expressions of interest – to be noted and to form a mailing list. Please email secretary@edyc.co.uk or phone or contact David Maxwell.

An insight into the course is available from

Our club needs trained and qualified Power Boat drivers and safety boat helms. They provide us with assistance at our dinghy events and other club activity. The power boat qualifications involve experience and instruction in driving our RIBS and Chevvy. They enable the candidate to have a confident approach to power boat handling in these club situations.

These photos show some of the activity these qualifications assist with.

Refresher or introductory training can be arranged at short notice for anyone. Preferably on a Friday night – adjacent to the dinghy training. The refresher training will be based on RYA Level II. – Should you wish to avail of this please email secretary@edyc.co.uk, or phone or contact David Maxwell.
