The next RYA VHF/DSC course will be held at our Weymouth branch over the winter of  2009. This course is required for customers to get their radio licence and should be done for anyone who wants to use a VHF/DSC radio in the UK. This is a daylong, classroom-based course with a test at the end. You will receive a certificate and licence for life and you will be able to get a call sign that is recognized by the Coastguard. For more information and enrolling instructions, please call our main office in Weymouth.

We have a few more openings left, so call now to enroll.

Blue Water Horizons will be conducting the RYA Powerboat II courses during the winter of 2009 in preparation for next season. The Powerboat II course is a two day event, usually done on your own boat although we can provide a boat for you.  One day is a general overview of boating including types of hulls, chart work, tides, weather, rules of the road, towing, and emergency procedures.. Another day is practical use of your boat including pre-launch checks, launch and recovery, tying up along side, mooring, anchoring, slow and fast manoeuvres and man overboard safety procedures. This is the most common class that first time boaters attend. Please call for more details. We have weekends this winter still available to book.
