Private tuition / Own boat tuition gives you the chance to learn by yourself or with friends and family at your own pace. More flexibility on times during the day gives you the chance to run the course around events at the sailing academy or other activities and allows it to be run in different formats to the back to back 2 day course.
e.g. for an RYA Powerboat Level 2 course, it could be run over two single days provided there isn't a large time between them
or the course could be run over a series of 4 hour sessions

If you don't have it then we can sometimes arrange for the loan of equipment. If on the day the boat doesn't have the relevant equipment or is faulty then we reserve the right to refuse tuition
