The
SailingAcademy is just about to
undergo its inspection by the Royal Yachting Association to permit us to issue
certification under the internationally acclaimed RYA Powerboat training scheme.
The
programme offers a range of training for both the novice powerboater and the more
experienced withcourses ranging from a 1 day introductory
course to a 3 day advanced course with both day and night exercises.
The
programme is supported by the Brunswick Group (Mercury Marine), who have supplied
the Academy with a superb 5.5
metre Savage Cobia, aluminium boat with a centre consol
with GPS Plotter, powered by a 60hp Mercury 4 stroke outboard engine (see picture).
The
boat has been specifically given to support the development of this programme.
On
completion of the inspection, the academy will become the first in Malaysia
and among a very select few in Asia to be able
to offer this internationally recognised powerboat training programme.
