VHF Radio Course
SPOSC continues to encourage and recruit new members and also develop the skills of our existing skippers and crew. As a result of the recent Club Sailing/Training survey the Committee are looking at arranging a number of Shore based and Practical courses.
The first of these is a VHF Radio Course arranged at the Sussex Yacht Club Shoreham by Sea. This is an important course for skippers to take and obtain their RYA VHF Radio License.
The club will also support any member (non qualified skipper) who regularly sails/crews with the club as it is important for them to obtain sailing qualifications and skills to support current skippers and develop the future activity of SPOSC.
The usual cost is £105 with a £60 fee for the RYA exam, to be taken on the same day which will give successful candidates their VHF licence.
Having qualified competent VHF radio operators onboard SPOSC Charters is an essential safety feature of our Charters.
SPOSC will subsidise this important safety course by paying the RYA exam fee of £60 leaving the £105 course fee to be paid by the club member.
If you are interested in completing this course, email [email protected] as the Committee are looking to arrange other courses such as Sea Survival and RYA Diesel Course, it is unlikely the VHF course will be repeated for at least another 12 months.
If you are interested in completing this course but cannot attend the above date, then please also send an email so that the Committee can identify future SPOSC Club Training needs.
*(As well as being a SPOSC member, course attendees must be currently subscribed to the SPSA)
