BASIC NAVIGATION AND BOAT HANDLING is being offered ONLINE this January by your local training team in Peterborough Ontario.

This course is being offered locally by our volunteers at  CanBoat Peterborough (CPS-ECP). We are offering this by our team strictly online… no classroom to visit!

It focuses on improving your knowledge, understanding, and skills in navigation and boat safety topics.

The virtual classroom version of the course cover the fundamentals of traditional navigation – understanding global coordinates, using a magnetic compass, and planning a cruise using paper charts.

 Boat handling topics include operator and crew responsibilities, managing onboard emergencies, collision avoidance rules, anchoring techniques, docking/undocking techniques, and understanding marine weather forecasts, and tide/current tables.

Also our online and virtual classroom versions of the course, cover all the topics offered in the classroom version plus navigation with electronic devices, such as phones, tablets, and chart plotters. All versions of the course include quizzes to check your understanding of the topics, navigation practice exercises, course notes, and a final exam, that if you complete with 75% or higher, may lower your boat insurance.

Discounts apply for early enrolment and also further discounts if you are a current CPS-ECP member!

Start Date: Jan 28th, 2025
