Year 12 Marine and Maritime Studies students had an amazing time completing the practical component of their Recreational Skipper’s Ticket course at Hillarys Yacht Club. They were taken out in small groups to complete the mandatory exercises needed to prove themselves as competent skippers, including departing a berth, emergency stopping, steering a transit and man-overboard rescue procedures. Everyone proved themselves highly capable, especially considering that for most students it was their first time actually driving a boat!
