May 1 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
BOAT HANDLING, which replaces Seamanship, is the next course to take if you’ve already taken an introductory boating class such as America’s Boating Course. The class will be conducted on Wednesdays over the course of six weeks, beginning May 1 through June 5.
A written test will be given on Wednesday, June 12, for members who wish to be granted the advanced grade of “Seaman.”
We strongly recommend taking this class in person to maximize your investment of time and resources. However, it will be available online as well. The link will be published weekly to registered participants.
NOTE: The test required to certify course completion must be taken in person on June 12.
