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 October 5 thru November 9.
A written test will be given on Wednesday, November 17, for members who wish to be granted the advanced grade of “Seaman.”
While it is strongly recommended to take this class in person, it will be available online as well. The link will be published weekly to registered participants.
