| There are
three introductory level courses, The Squadron Boating Course, Boat Smart
and America's Boating
Course (ABC). All are designed to be useful to all boaters, from the fisherman in an outboard
to the skipper of a large cruiser or sailboat.
Boat Smart contains three sections. There are homework questions at the end
of each section to assist retention of the information presented.
The Squadron Boating Course covers additional topics such as an introduction to reading charts and
plotting courses that are not in Boat Smart. However, Chart Smart is available for those who would like to learn a little more about piloting.
America' Boating Course (ABC) is
a joint effort between the United States Power Squadrons and the United
States Coast Guard Auxiliary. This course can be taught in a
classroom or a home study
course for individuals who cannot attend USPS' traditional class room
courses.
