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 is conducted in six sessions:
Rules of the Road
Confidence in Docking
Handling Your Boat Underway
Anchoring
Emergencies on Board
Knots and Line Handling
The seventh week (June 12), there will be a written test. Members who complete the course and pass the test will 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.
