NOKSPS Burgee: Flown with Pride
 
A Good Beginning.

    Boat Smart is a course for all boaters (the personal watercraft operator; the hunter or fisherman in an outboard utility boat; the skipper of the family cruiser; the sailing enthusiast). All must follow the same nautical rules, regulations, and courtesies of the sea. All are subject to the same forces of nature while boating.

    Boating is often a family activity. The course is of value to all members of a boating family.

    Qualified, enthusiastic, and experienced instructors provide instruction as a civic service. There is never a charge for instruction; except those for materials, plus overhead costs such as classroom rental, shipping and handling, sales tax, etc.

    While the student manual serves this course, it will continue to serve as a reference book in basic boating long after the course is completed. This course meets the educational standards of the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and features a proctored examination - as required by many states and insurance companies. The course provides for instruction and examination for laws and regulations of state and local authorities in the area where the course is taught (Oklahoma).

    We believe that the more educated a boater, the more likely that he/she will be a safe boater. Boat Smart is the beginning of a boating education. Students are encouraged to follow this brief and basic course with additional boating education such as the courses offered to members of the NOK Sail and Power Squadron. Your instructor can give you information about membership and the advanced courses.
