What kind of training

[powerskipper]

This is not a,
"yes we should"
"no we should not"
get training type post.

This is what things should be included on a training course for boats,

Boat handling.
maintenance
navigation,
just owning a boat.

Just something to think about if your board over Xmas.

Weather
Common sense
Empathy
How to keep your cheque book in your pocket and still have fun
Why marina's are a bad thing!
Why paying shoreline is not the same as paying green flag or the AA.
Is there anything outside the Solent? (In three parts)

Julie, I have just read your new profile and I really must congratulate you on keeping such a cogent grasp of the boating scene at the age of 104. I just hope I have as many marbles left in the year 2053

P.S. Did you ever meet Joshua Slocombe?

Well a lady is never meant to tell her age,
and after a certain age its fun to pretend to be 30+... keeps you guessing /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
