LSC’s policy for driving the Support Boats (SB) is that all drivers must have RYA Powerboat Level 2 (PB2).

Requirements to apply for funding for your PB2 qualification
 LSC may subsidise your PB2 training if you meet all the following criteria:

  • have been a member of LSC for a minimum of 1 year and are actively involved with the club.
  • can prepare, launch and recover the SB, as detailed in SB1 Shore Based Preparation.
  • can demonstrate, to an LSC Instructor, that you have the driver skills detailed in Introduction to driving LSC's Powerboat.
  • agree to complete a minimum of 8 driver duties during dinghy racing:
    - ideally, these should be completed within 2 years from completion of your PB2.
    - if the race - when you are scheduled to undertake a duty - is cancelled, then the duty will still count as one of the eight.
  • LSC hopes that you will continue to drive our SBs for many years. It will give you the opportunity to keep your skills up to date, attend refresher driving and safety courses; as well as meet other members of the club.
