Just get in your boat, be sensible, and go and enjoy yourself. The reason people enjoy boating is because we want to escape the bullshit. We leave it all behind at work, or on the road, or every other part of life that binds us up in regulation. For god sake, don't destroy the last bastion of freedom we have.
This is one of the most condescending instructors I’ve ever heard. Did the Powerboat level 2 course when I purchased my first boat and it was actually really useful to get the basics, but we had a great instructor.
I know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
I have PB2 and certs for IC C.. One worry is the number of families on little power boats with no one wearing life jacket or buoyancy aid Water is to cold in uk to swim in uk for any time I normally sail a Hunter Horizon 23 but found the PB2 VeryUseful I found the maneuvering the Hunter under outboard power much more gentle and slow works better...
Boating just seems different in England. Tiny boats. Expensive fuel. Heavy regulations about everything. Crazy tidal ranges. People idling long boats up narrow canals in traffic jams at 1 mph............
these guys sound so patronising and pompous, it's wonder the skipper never chucked him overboard and practised his MOB on him. I have been through RYA training myself and hold a couple of certificates. Learning is supposed to be fun and informative.
I've been boating since i was 9 years old driving a 30' lobster boat on some of the roughest waters in the UK to owning my own boats for years. if you seriously want people to do this you should pay them. what a load of hogwash.
It's great for people just getting into boating and gives them the basics. Obviously an entry level course isn't going to be helpful to someone with alot of knowledge and experience.

ha ha right on!
The boat launch worried me, it came off the trailer too steeply. Transom almost dipped below the water.
It was launched as though they were disposing of incriminating evidence!

I've only got 17yrs experience. These courses should be for people who feel they need them, not compulsory.

scdevon Because they believe in NASA ;)
Not always, tiny boats or expensive fuel. You can on the UK take any boat to sea (well upto a certain size) with no skill, training or knowledge.
Excellent, well produced and ver informative.
What type of boat is that?

Wonderful smal boat 🙏🙏
what brand is that awesome little boat
haha no life jacket on the equipment list at the start!
What boat is this?
Cool video
Rolf Harris boat instruction wheres my two little boys
Ummm WRONG pally ! There are NO 'satellites' !
Hi I am disabled and can sit and drive the boat could not do the man overboard part what happens then ?
You aren't allowed a boat then.
there are some boats set up for disabled people
Sounds like a way to take advantage of people under the scope of safety
The amount of regulation endured by Europeans in general just boggles the mind.
gotta be honest this is all common sense lol !

its common sense that is needed not another organisation finding ways to make money out of people who can ill afford another extorsion.
Old school instructor - teaching feels out of touch compared to todays instructors
On my boat is the most free anyone can be in this country if the bring in rules insurance and tests ill be out!
There are already rules and insurance ! 🤔
Wayne Matthews I’m not sure it’s a legal requirement to have insurance. I know there are rules but they are flexible compared to driving a car say.
@@chrism1273 depends where you are boating as to weather you need insurance. Come harbours and inland waterways require it.
I own my cal34 had a 60 feet power boat
Never gone any where to learn
#nofreedom
Anything to screw more money out of people.
wtf ?
