own boat training with 5 Star Marine

[oGaryo]

Won half a day own boat training with 5 Star Marine in a raffle. What training have folk found mist useful on their own boat? Handling? use of electronics? Something else? I have dazed kipper theory and Advanced Power Boat. I am thinking some night work would be good if available but have yet to open the envelope to ascertain if it is. What would you recommend?

I'd go for the night ex option if available I think especially if it's the least used navigation Gary. Failing that, get David to tailor make the tuition for Caley or Debs (or Jamie of course).

I'd go for some close quarter handling and perhaps get them to show you how to change belts, clean filters, etc.

Gary used to put aircraft back together...

+1 for "The Solent at Night"

Cheers guys, while a bit of night nav especially with radar would be fun, I think the nail has be hit on the head, pontoon bashing for Debbie and Caley it is.. both have their PB2 but need a confidence boost to berthing the S28 as they both did their training in a rib

Woo hoo. Well done Gary. I'm sure whatever you choose, you will put it to good use.
