"Take Me Home"

An Introduction to Moderate Seas

These sessions are designed for those who own, or regularly use, a RIB or other small powerboat (up to 10m) and are ready to start developing their skills in more challenging sea states of average 1m wave height.

Aim of the Course

By the end of the session you will have the knowledge to tackle wave heights average 1m and reduce the stress if conditions deteriorate whilst you are out on a day trip.

Approximately 75% of the session is spent in practical application of the theory.


When Does The Course Run

The course will only run if we have appropriate conditions in Falmouth Bay.  i.e. wave sets of approx. 1m, together with reasonable visibility and wind speeds.
