Weymouth Charters have joined forces with Sunsail , International  yacht operators and team development experts The Colour Works  to deliver  their “Great Team-Working” Programme  with the classroom being fabulous high-performance Sunsail F40 yachts and the open sea.

Racing yachts provide a unique platform to help teams improve their performance.  They require everyone to pull their weight, at times under great pressure.  It needs clear leadership and communication where trust and collaboration are a must when forced to make split – second decisions.

Andy Wallace, Business Development Manager for Sunsail Racing said "We are delighted to be working in conjunction with The Colour Works and Weymouth Charters, sailing is such a team sport and is a great platform for really developing and enhancing team relationships, productivity and bonding.

Professional skippers and crew, whether on board a work boat or private yacht, regardless of their position on board, need to understand and comply with their legal responsibilities and carry out the requisite duty of care to their passengers, crew, and other water users.
 
The new RYA Professional Practices and Responsibilities course provides professionals with the knowledge they need to undertake this duty with confidence.

The course covers a range of regulatory aspects including: Management of commercial vessels, maintenance of safety equipment, risk control and operating procedures, legal environmental obligations and planning and situational awareness.

Harbour Clean, the shallow water workboat specialist, has added an innovative amphibious weed-cutting boat to their growing fleet of vessels for marina, waterway and harbour maintenance. Early reports indicate that the craft is proving a success with inland sites in the Thames and Midlands areas where marine growth has posed a recurrent problem.

Njord 1 is a 5m Dutch-built Mobitrac Classic (Truxor-style equivalent) capable of fully amphibious operation, including manoeuvring on reed beds, marshes, tidal mudflats and river banks, even where water depths are negligible. 

A one-man operation, Njord 1 is self-launching and is easily mobilised to remote sites by cost-effective road trailer.
