A bit of training and preparation can ensure that your boating enjoyment isn’t marred by launching and recovery disasters. A busy slipway, crowds watching, you have to work quickly, efficiently and look professional as you launch or recover your boat.
Towing trailers on Irish roads - we'll teach you the hazards and how to cope.
As well as driving and reversing your trailer we'll teach you some good care and maintenance tips that anyone can manage to prevent accidents and incidents on the road.
