At C-MASTERS, we have created a selection of 'must do' courses. After several years of providing training we know which topics and skills are considered complex by students. Most of these topics are covered in the RYA shorebased courses and during practical courses. However, a more intensive hands-on training is needed to become confident and truly skilled.

 

Roll up your sleeves and join our Masterclass Diesel Engines at our workshop. This course is of great value for skippers and crew who need to be prepared to fix their trusty engine when it unexpectedly does let you down. 

This masterclass is developed by our own experts. The masterclass is unique. It is not available at other RYA training centres.

Amongst other, we will show you how to make your engine more reliable by clever improvements and changes to the engine.

  • Identifying parts (inside and outside) of the engine
  • Analysing the most common faults
  • Top Tips and system improvements to minimise the risk of fault occurance
  • Solving engine start problems
  • Types and characteristics of fuels and oils
