    Hi, Just a quick review following completing my Powerboat Level 2 at Trafford Watersports Centre earlier this week. I found the whole experience fantastic (helped by the great weather) and couldn't have hoped for more. Our instructer Debs was knowlegeable, thourough and a great communicator. I was lucky in that there were only two of us on the course which meant we had no rush and plenty of time to work through all the elements. The site itself was a pleasant surprise as I had never been before with all the facilities you might need. I would not hesitate to recommend Peak, Trafford Watersports Centre and of course Debs. Thanks for the experience.
