HOW TO - Boarding Operations & Pacing Exercises in a Powerboat | Powerboat Training UK

In this video we show how boarding operations are performed in a powerboat - it can get pretty intense!
Bringing one vessel alongside another craft when moving takes real skill and total concentration on the part of the helmsman. Many organisation's need to conduct Boarding Operations whether to transfer crew between craft or to insert a 'team' to search a craft or just to review paperwork. Almost every time this occurs it is unopposed and the Skipper can focus on driving the vessel.
In some situations though a more assertive approach is necessary to ensure the other vessel complies. Training Boarding Operations and Pacing is key if Skippers are to be able to keep their boarding party safe and effect a safe transfer of personnel.
Training sessions focus on a variety of scenarios at a variety of speeds and use various crafts for practice. Some of our crafts include:
- Ribcraft 7.8m ~ ‘Harrier’,
- Ribcraft 7.8m ~ ‘Hunter’,
- Jeanneau Cap Camarat 6.5 Centre Console ~ ‘Bonaire’,
- RNLI D Class ex-Lifeboat
Through our relationship with Solent RIB Charter we have access to a fleet of 22 6.8 to 10m RIB's!
