SUMMARY:Basic Navigation and Boat Handling
DESCRIPTION:This classroom course covers the fundamentals of traditional navigation – understanding global coordinates\, using a magnetic compass\, and planning a cruise using paper charts. The class then covers navigation with electronic devices\, such as phones\, tablets\, and chart plotters. \n\n\n\nBoat handling topics include operator and crew responsibilities\, managing onboard emergencies\, collision avoidance rules\, anchoring techniques\, docking/undocking techniques\, and understanding marine weather forecasts\, and tide/current tables. \n\n\n\nMaterial will be presented in the classroom\, and you will have access to the material online\, along with quizzes to check your understanding of the topics\, navigation practice exercises\, course notes\, and a final exam\, that if you complete with 75% or higher\, may lower your boat insurance. \n\n\n\nThe course takes 10 Thursday evenings starting on September 24th and ending on December 3rd. All the material and quizes will also be available online\, so don’t worry if you have to miss an occasional class. \n\n\n\nClick here to see more details and to register for the class.
