Our approach is a practical one. We apply common-sense interpretations to the rules to help make them easier to understand and remember. The reference for this seminar is the United States Coast Guard Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook\, which is the complete listing of the rules. Although relatively comprehensive\, this seminar does not contain details of all the rules. It focuses on the rules governing situations most likely to be encountered by newer recreational boaters. \nINSTRUCTOR: Joe Kiceina \nDEMONSTRATION: \nPREPARATION: Read Rules of the Road Student Manual \nTuesday\, March 11 – 7:00PM – 9:00PM\nConfidence in Docking & Undocking – Zoom\n \nSESSION 2: Docking can be one of the most stressful tasks you can perform\, especially if you are a new boater. Closely related as a source of anxiety is maintaining control of your boat at slow speed in close proximity to other boats and fixed objects. With the knowledge you’ll gain in this seminar — coupled with your on-the-water practice — your confidence in docking\, undocking\, and slow-speed maneuvering will increase and your boating will be both safer and more enjoyable. Let’s get started. \nINSTRUCTOR: Michael Leyden \nDEMONSTRATION: \nPREPARATION: Read Confidence in Docking & Undocking Student Manual \nTuesday\, March 18 – 7:00PM – 9:00PM\nBoating with Confidence – Zoom\n \nSESSION 3: Upon completion of this seminar\, you will have gained an understanding of how to control your boat while operating at slow speed or on plane; how to deal with tide\, wind and seas; how to safely navigate inlets and river bends; and how to tie the knots that are most often used when at sea. \nINSTRUCTOR: TBD \nDEMONSTRATION: \nPREPARATION: Read Boating with Confidence Student Manual \nTuesday\, March 25 – 7:00PM – 9:00PM\nAnchoring – in-person Classroom\n \nSESSION 4: This seminar is on anchoring with assurance! All boaters will face situations where they want or need to anchor. This seminar will give you the knowledge and insights you need to anchor with confidence\, and members of your local club will be happy to help you practice anchoring under local conditions\, so you don’t get carried away. \nINSTRUCTOR: Dave Atwood \nDEMONSTRATION: Hands on experience with model anchors \nPREPARATION: Read Anchoring with Assurance Student Manual \nTuesday\, April 1 – 7:00PM – 9:00PM\nEmergencies on Board – Zoom\n \nSESSION 5: Boating is serious fun. Understanding and being prepared to handle the kinds of emergencies that can arise while boating is important. So is knowing how to call for help when you need it. Welcome to Emergencies on Board: Preparation for Handling Common Problems. \nINSTRUCTOR: Nick Vandemoer \nDEMONSTRATION: \nPREPARATION: Emergencies on Board Student Manual \nTuesday\, April 8 – 7:00PM – 9:00PM\nKnots & Line Handling & Final Exam – in-person Classroom\n \nSESSION 6: Marlinespike seamanship encompasses the art and scie nce of working with rope and line.
