COURSE CONTENT
It is
the aim of ParaQuest to make training courses informative and fun.
Emphasis on our relationship with other water users (such as
collision avoidance) is intended to help us integrate into the
established system adopted by other sea users. It is hoped that
rather than restrict our operations, the knowledge gained will open
up the available use for our craft, save us money and improve our
general image.
The
topics covered include.
Background
on standards, legislation and the benefits of qualifications.
Equipment
( personal and sport requirements - choice, quality and suppliers).
I.R.P.C.S
- Where we fit, anti-collision signals (including VHF information).

order and depth of the topics covered may be altered to suit
individual needs and the standard of training being undertaken.
