The aim of the RYA Diesel Engine course is to prevent machinery breakdown at sea. If you do have mechanical problems this course will teach you how to get going again. Volunteer Marine Rescue groups tell us that the main reasons for callouts to sail and powerboats is machinery failure. As a crewmember on a racing or cruising sailboat this course will extend your maritime skills and enhance your value as a crewmember.
