This all-new
course continues to build coastal and inland navigation skill, allowing
the student to take on
more challenging conditions – unfamiliar waters,
limited visibility, and extended cruises. GPS is
embraced as a
primary
navigation tool while adding radar, chart
plotters, and other electronic
navigation
tools. As with Piloting, the course includes many in-class
exercises, advancing the student’s
skills through
hands-on practice and
learning.
