Short Courses

RYA Diesel $395

This course was developed by the RYA for those who know very little about mechanics. The aim is to prevent machinery breakdown at sea and to give you the confidence and knowledge to get going again.

Volunteer marine rescue groups tell us that the main reason they are called out to sail and power driven vessels is simple mechanical failure. As a crew member on a sailing or power driven vessel, this training will extend your maritime skills and enhance your value as a member of the crew.

Marine First Aid MFA $350

Most yachtsmen and women undertake basic first aid training as a precaution against the inevitable accidents at sea, but in this training we are only taught how to stabilize a patient until the ambulance arrives.

This is usually 11 minutes in a capital city in Australia. At sea off the Queensland coast, as an example, using established Australian search and rescue services, the minimum response time for on/site medivac is three hours.

This training is mandatory for racing yachtsmen and highly recommended for all who venture offshore under power or sail.
