What to Bring

• Clothes to go powerboating in / wetsuit.

For example, jeans are not good when wet. Please bring a few changes of clothes, we hope you won’t get wet while powerboating but we can’t guarantee it!

• Water-proofs: a lightweight waterproof jacket is perfect and trousers if you have them.

• Shoes for powerboating in: either wetsuit boots, old trainers or deck shoes are fine.

• Buoyancy Aid (if you have one), it must be a 50 newton BA with a ‘CE’ Mark. If you don’t have a buoyancy aid we will provide one for the course.

• A towel.

• Sun-Screen, sunglasses and hat.

• You might want to bring some gloves, but these are not essential.

• A Passport sized photo for your certificate.

• Your packed lunch!

 

Lunch Time

There will be a break for lunch each day of the course. Please bring a packed lunch, as there are no caterers on site.  It is a good idea to come armed with some snacks to keep up energy levels during the day. Bar facilities may be available at the end of the day for those in need!
