Great for the class room and afloat.

Very useful to bring pilotage and COL regs to life. I use the model boat afloat to help with practical teaching of maneuverers.
Very Happy with my set.

Great for teaching

Great tool to carry in my life jacket pocket to use on the water when explaining how to anchor. They come in brilliantly for the ‘types of anchor’ part of PB2 as well as other things.

Great bit of kit

I use this when teaching the night ex of advanced powerboat and intermediate powerboat when giving advice on returning at night.

Great tool to demo the previously discussed flash patterns of buoys and the random selection is great for a quiz. 🙂

Design to Production

We don't just pull models off the Internet, we spend time designing tools that work in the real world, that provide key visual elements for your students. We spend the time making sure that the investment you make in your training aids pays off in client satisfaction.
