To use the training ladder, start at the top of the table and work your way down each row to see where you fit in with your existing knowledge. These RYA courses are designed especially for the small boat user. These boats are generally of the open type and do not normally provide accommodation or cooking facilities. The courses provide the knowledge required to operate a variety of boats, from a dory, (a yacht tender with a small outboard), to very high performance speedboats or Ribs powered by an inboard engine. | Beginner | | Intermediate | | Advanced | |  |
