Boat Handling

Boat Handling Course

The 7 week, Spring 2025 Boat Handling Course will meet in our classroom to provide an introduction to the knowledge and skills needed to handle your boat.
​
The first meeting on May 7th will allow participants to pick up course materials, ask questions as needed and discuss the course schedule and your expectations. During this first session we would also like members to meet other class members and share some boating experiences and interests. This meeting will help the instructors build an understanding of the group’s needs as they build basic boating knowledge and skills. A course outline will be provided during the first session.

The class sessions include activities and discussions of boating situations and practicing skills used in boat handling. Tying knots and other hands-on experiences will help reinforce learning presented during the course.
​
Please join us to build your foundation of boating knowledge as you plan & look forward to being on the water during the coming boating season.
