INTRODUCTION

Aim of course

This course is designed to give prospective and current boat owners the knowledge they require to:-

Recognise potential problems.

Carry out basic maintenance

Specify reliable components.

Course philosophy

It is still a fact that the small boat marine trade is still very much a cottage industry, and as such the standards of workmanship and practice leave much to be desired in an unacceptable number of cases. This is not helped by the large DIY fraternity, a number of who appear to be less than conversant with good practice.

Discussion on various aspects of common interest is also expected because this allows course members to pool their knowledge and experience.

Although there is a well defined course plan your lecturer is happy to modify this as long as the majority of students appear to feel it is in their interest. Indeed it will be modified as feedback is obtained from course members.
