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).
-
Practical - a hands on
approach to the learning of useful techniques including, slow and
fast control, trim, ventilation, anchoring, emergency stop.
-
Rope work ( a simple five
knot approach and some useful advise
-
Maintenance - all kit
-
Charts - a simple
explanation of how they work ( including tides ) and how to use them.
-
Weather - what the
forecast means to us.
-
Emergencies - towing etc.
The order and depth of the
topics covered may be altered to suit individual needs and the
standard of training being undertaken.
