America's Boating Course - 3rd Edition is all new with a completely updated manual, outstanding graphics, and two bonus computer disks.
The course manual is divided into five chapters. The first four cover the required topics that all recreational boaters must know.
In addition to the rules of the road, the four chapters cover the various types of boats, required safety equipment, navigation aids,
lights and sounds, anchoring, communications afloat, adverse conditions, water sports safety, trailering, personal water craft safety,
and knots and lines. The fifth chapter provides an introduction to digital charts and GPS waypoint navigation, a key skill for boating
on larger lakes and rivers and coastal waters. This optional fifth chapter provides the background for additional classes in the art
of navigation.
ABC3 is approved by, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA), is also recognized
by the United States Coast Guard, and is accepted by most states as meeting their requirements for getting a safety certificate, required
in most states for operation of a water craft.This is our primary civic effort toward public instruction in the fundamentals of safe
boating. Courses are designed to familiarize the student with the fundamentals of safe boating and qualify for certification in most
states that require boating education before operating a watercraft. Boaters who successfully complete this course qualify for the
boating safety education ID Card issued by the Florida FWC and names are automatically forward to the FWC.
