"Whoops! I think that winding hole got the better of me!" The Inland Waterways cater for everyone and, by and large, most users are fairly tolerant of the shortcomings of others. After all, we all had to start at sometime, didn't we? However, the canals can be dangerous and you owe it to yourself, your crew, to everyone else on the 'cut' (and to the physical well-being of your boat!) to be able to safely navigate through the various hazards you will inevitably come across. It is even better to learn how to avoid many of these dangerous situations happening in the first place.
Being able to handle yourself and your boat in a professional manner will greatly increase your enjoyment from cruising and bring you a good deal of personal satisfaction. Who better to show you the ropes, including some lesser known 'tricks of the trade', than an experienced professional?
Perhaps you are a beginner and, having just bought your first boat, you don’t want to learn the “hard way”, acquiring bad habits and quite a few dents or bad scratches to your expensive paintwork on the way? You may have a proficient partner but would feel more comfortable being taught by some-one else.
On the other hand it may be you have some experience under your belt and would like to improve upon the skills you have already acquired? Will you ever go solo boating, without a crew member to help you? If so you would benefit from a session covering professional tips and tricks to make single-handing much easier, especially when locking.
There are no unknown trainees you have to share time with and in front of whom you have to 'perform' and be compared with. Neither is there the pressure of a formal examination, although if I am happy with your progress by the end of the session then you will get a handsome certificate like this:- For more details give me a ring on 01788 899105 Other Page Links:- Home What You Will Learn What It Will Cost About Me Contact Me
