America's Boating Course

This is our newest offering that covers the fundamentals of boating.  The course is designed for skippers and crew of all types of watercraft.  It is a condensed version of Boating Skills and Seamanship.  The course material covers:

 

-  General information about boats

-  Trailering, fueling and maintaining your boat

-  How to operate your boat safely

-  Laws and regulations to which you must adhere

-  Handling boating emergencies

-  Enjoying water sports with your boat

 

The course materials include both an 80 page full color manual and a CD with interactive "courseware".  The manual is your textbook and includes extensive diagrams, graphics and boating tips.  The courseware is interactive and makes use of animation, video, and sound.  The courseware includes resources that will come in handy long after you have completed the course:  printable forms (checklists, accident reports, float plans, etc.) and links to reference documents such as the Navigation Rules.
