on seamanship, boat handling, boat types, rules of the road, navigation aids,
regulations, adverse conditions, marine VHF radio, knots, trailering and
introductory piloting. The course includes an extensive course book,
training charts, and basic navigation tools.
Many of today’s boaters use GPS
and waypoint navigation (latitude & longitude), but GPS doesn’t tell you
what is around you, beneath your boat, or what may be in your way. The use
of charts is explained in this course as the essential step required for a safe
passage and to prepare you in case your GPS fails.
