Closing Day – 12th April
The Powerboat Handling Course introduces basic boat handling skills, and also qualifies you for a NSW General Powerboat licence. However, the rules are changing at the end of June, and whilst the course will still be extremely valuable in building boat handling skills, participants will no longer be able to use the course to gain a Powerboat licence.
As such, the Club has organised two courses in May for members interested in gaining their NSW General Powerboat licence to complete.
Cohort 1: Theory 15th May, Practical 18th May - Book here
Cohort 2: Theory 15th May, Practical 25th May - Book here
