Seamanship – is a natural
first/next step in building a foundation for confidence and competence in safe
and enjoyable boating on the water. It
extends the knowledge and skills of the boater in handling and maneuvering a vessel,
either sail or power. The course
provides a better understanding of how boats behave under various conditions
including close quarters and open water operations. Knowledge and skills are increased in the
areas of anchoring, emergencies, rules of the road, and marlinespike/basic
knots. Appendices include information to
safe operation in waters of our neighbors to the north and south, Canada
and Mexico..
The course content and our coastal navigation courses should help in
preparation for completion of the US Coast Guard licensing examination. An On-The-Water component enhances the
learning experience.
Further Information This course is available on line at the University of West Florida.
