COURSE DATES

The most common reason for lifeboat launches to sailing and motor vessels is machinery failure.  Don’t be a lifeboat statistic - attend a one day RYA Diesel Engine course.  No mechanical knowledge is required.  This course teaches you to be more self-sufficient and covers a basic understanding of how the diesel engine runs and how to keep it working at sea. 

The syllabus includes the principles of the diesel engine: the four stroke cycle; the fuel system; the cooling system; the air system; engine electrical systems; basic spares and tools; and basic winterising.  

RYA course material in booklet form is provided and an RYA Certificate will be issued to successful candidates.
