Seamanship Course
The Seamanship Course builds on techniques introduced in the Boating Course (suggested prerequisite). The new, full colour,
Seamanship course uses and builds upon traditional navigation practices, GPS fixes, Way Points, along with the introduction of Deviation, in the three homework cruises, and the examination take home cruises.
This course offers: interpretation of charts, the DR plot, bearings, fixes, running fixes, Collision Regulations, and plotting and labeling in True and Magnetic.
Seamanship explains the hazards of weather, wind, waves, tides, and tidal currents and how to deal with them. Literally, learn the ropes - from knots, hitches, bends, and splices.
When unforeseen circumstances arise such as man-overboard or medical emergencies, the seamanship course helps the student to acquire the skills to deal with life-threatening situations
