Seamanship (S)
Emphasis is placed on a higher level of boating skills, including practical marlinespike,
anchoring and rafting, navigation rules of the road, hull design and performance,
responsibilities of the skipper, basic boat care and maintenance, operating a boat
under normal and adverse conditions, what to do in various emergencies and weather
conditions, and nautical customs and common courtesy on the water.
Seamanship provides a needed introduction to the USPS Educational Program and a
strong foundation for members going on to Piloting and Advanced Piloting and
Advanced Grade courses and/or Elective courses that relate to safe boat operation and
knowledge that include Cruise Planning, Engine Maintenance, Marine Electronics, Sail,
and Weather.
Note: This course will involve an optional on-the-water activity which will be scheduled
on a weekend at the completion of the course. Highly successful in 2007, it is a much-
anticipated class event.
