PPCDL is for boats that do not operate commercially. For eg, u have this licence for own puproses. The passenger on ur boat are non revenue.Originally posted by Uncle_MooMoo:can drive powerboat only or can drive big yatch also har?
Boats different from cars or aeroplane. They vary from big to small. -
yeah I mean if I get a PPCDL, what size of boat am I qualified to drive? Just power speedboats or big yatches(for personal use) as well?Originally posted by Pitot:PPCDL is for boats that do not operate commercially. For eg, u have this licence for own puproses.

I think it is possible to drive a yacht for personal purposes yes. I suggest you go double check if you really interested.Originally posted by Uncle_MooMoo:yeah I mean if I can a PPCDL, what size of boat am I qualified to drive? Just powerboat or a big yatch(for personal purposes) as well? -
ok thanks, I think I will go for the course when I'm free.
can tell more about the course, like what kind of boat will we drive, is it hard etc.?
also what topic will be covered in the course, like navigation vectoring etc., maths have to be good? I'm quite a blur person so I usually prefer to prepare beforehand if it's complicated
thanks alot -
I'm planning to go for the course. So is the thread starter. Perhaps we can arrange to go together? And the lesson will be split into 2 parts, theory and practical. Practical is handling of the craft while theory is the rues and regulations of the sea.Originally posted by Uncle_MooMoo:ok thanks, I think I will go for the course when I'm free.
