BASICS OF NAVIGATION! How to read a chart, understanding Aids to Navigation, and more….. Bonus Free Vessel Inspection
Basics of Navigation — a hands-on class taught by certified USCG Auxiliary Instructors — will introduce you to chart reading, chart plotting, Aids to Navigation and the Rules of the Road. This full-day, information-packed session gives the new (and not-so-new) boater the skills to: 1) know where you are; and 2) chart where you want to go. You also will learn about the various types of Aids to Navigation that guide you on the water. You may bring your own plotting tools and charts (NOAA chart 11552) or we will supply them for class purposes.
The course will be held on August 11th, and runs from 8:30am to approximately 4:30pm at the Fairfield Harbour Community Center at the Fairfield Harbour Firehouse, 589 Broad Creek Road. A fee of $35.00 covers instruction as well as the Boating Skills and Seamanship Manual, an excellent reference for new boaters. Additional family members or guests using the same text pay only $5.00.
Registrants also are invited to bring their trailered boats to the parking lot for a free vessel inspection.
