RYA radar course rather out of date
Good tuition and a well organised event however the radar simulator apparently the only one approved by the RYA is out of date and has not kept up with modern radar interfaces The tutor made the best of the limitations of this to explain basic principles but an up-to-date simulator is needed I would have valued a bit more time spent illustrating potential misinterpretations of radar information

Saturday s outboard motor course
Michael was very helpful and the hands on experience of dismantling parts of outboard engines that I had never seen before was very valuable Three of the four people at the course had Yamahas They are popular and it is a pity you don t have a Yamaha as a demo eg a 9HP or 15HP Michael was not and could not be expected to be an expert on Yamahas as well Thank you for providing coffee tea and milk You did say that lunch is not included but not how difficult it is to get it so with hindsight we should all have brought our own sandwiches

An informative day
The course was comprehensive and well run by John the instructor John was engaging knew his stuff and delivered an informative day I have not given 5 stars for the following reasons The premises are a little tired and the engine classroom a bit of a dungeon with no windows To be fair I understand a move in location of the school is being planned I also thought that the on screen presentations power point etc were a little lacklustre Often they just mirrored what was in the RYA workbook and there were no animations of working diesels or associated systems which would have helped the students and probably the instructor as well
