Safety, Rescue & Mark-Set Boat Handling
This two day hands-on, on-the-water course is designed for anyone who will be operating a support boat for a race, regatta or event. Since an operator of a race support boat is expected to be able to perform safety, rescue and mark-setting operations participants should have at least basic small boat handling skills. This course focuses on hands-on application of all skills. As such, students will be expected to study the course materials at home to challenge and pass a written exam covering equipment requirements, rules of the road, aids to navigation, preparation, environment regulations, safety and emergencies.
Upon successful completion participants will earn US Sailing/US Powerboating Certifications for Safe Powerboat Handling, Safety and Rescue Boat Handling, and Mark Set Boat Handling.
