America's Boating Course - 8 Hour Short
April 30th and May 7th
8am to 12 Noon Each Day

America's Boating Course - 3rd Edition is our primary civic effort toward public instruction in the fundamentals of safe boating. Materials include a 244 page full-color book, comprehensive boating information, introduction to navigation, and two CDs.Both short (8-hour) and long (12-hour) formats 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.

The short (8-hour) version covers the basics needed to operate a boat safely, and is a replacement for previous short USPS courses such as Boat Smart and the 8-hour version of The Squadron Boating Course.

The long (12-hour) course covers all that's included in the 8-hour course and adds basic information on both paper and digital charts and basic piloting techniques, equivalent to the full version of The Squadron Boating Course.

This class will be held on two following Saturdays, from 0800 to 1200 at the University of New Hampshire Hamel Student Recreation Center at 128 Main St. Durham, NH (For those familiar with the UNH Campus, this is the old Snively Arena building right next to the Whittemore Center. Parking Lot right next door.)

Class Price: $50.00 which includes the 244 page Textbook, plus two CD's. An introductory navigation software disc, "Coastal Explorer," which loads and reads charts downloadable from NOAA, (we'll show you how), plus a supplemental learning disc for the course itself.

Why do we ask you for private information like your date of birth and place of birth? Some states require a license to operate a boat, and some require boat operators to pass a boating safety class before they will issue a license. To preclude any missing information our Squadron is looking ahead to comply with all State requirements. Once you have completed this course and have passed the examination, you will be given a Certificate of Completion (Good for Continuing Education Credits) as proof that you have successfully completed and passed the course. Also for Safe Boating you will be issued a signed Wallet Card attesting to completion of a proctored ' Safe Boating Course ' for NASBLA. This card is valid in ANY state requiring a Safe Boating Certificate. This information is also given to our national USPS office so that you can request a duplicate certificate from USPS in the event that you lose your original certificate.
