Docking Endorsement
Gain confidence in the one area that generates the most concern, taking a boat out and bringing one in. The docking manual and course are newly released by ASA. We now offer this insurance fee cutting option. Insurance companies report 70% of injury and property damage accidents occur inside marinas.
(Weekend course with certificate & lots of practice - 2 boat sizes)
RADAR
Learn to translate what you see on Radar to useful weather, navigation and collision avoidance information. Radar when tuned properly and read correctly can make any trip day or night, foggy or clear, a whole lot safer. Enroll for this summer’s courses now.
(1 Week course or 6 evenings - classroom)
Marine Weather
This is a topic that becomes a true passion for active sailors. Sailing Weather helps a sailor understand what the clouds are saying. Is the wind going to blow? How hard, when? Is it going to rain? Fog, what is fog anyway? Should we sail out today or catch a movie? Once you know weather, it becomes possible to make safe sail plans days in advance reducing the chance of being caught by surprise of too much or no wind.
(Fri PM Sat/Sun 2 Weekends, or 6 evenings - classroom)
