The aim of the intermediate course is to teach Powerboating
skills and techniques to help students complete short coastal
passages in daylight. It is helpful if students have some background in
navigation, though we will teach coastal and tidal navigation. We
recommend that students hold a valid first aid
certificate and VHF radio operator's
certificate. The highlight of the course will be a coastal passage where
students are responsible for planning the passage, navigation and driving
the boat, all under the guidance of an expert instructor. An outline syllabus is shown below.
- Planning a day cruise
- Collision regulations and meteorology
- GPS and electronic navigation
- Boat preparation and handling
- Pilotage and passage making
- Tidal and coastal navigation
