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.
MASTERCLASS : Diesel Engines - Improvements, Repairs and Maintenance
Course content
Amongst other, we will show you how to make your engine more reliable by clever improvements and changes to the engine.
The workshop is an addition to the RYA Diesel Engine one day course, and is aimed at lifting you up from having acquired the principal understanding and maintenance of engines during the RYA course to actively grabbing the tools and smartly doing improvements and repair works on our engines in our workshop in real world situations.

Most practical workshop I've done so far
After having done Diesel workshops at several other schools, I was amazed how many new practical things I learned at your masterclass. Well done guys.
I highly recommended it !
