One-Day Safe Boating Course July 24, 2010

Whether you're a new boater or you feel you'd benefit from a refresher course on handling a boat safely, consider attending an upcoming Safe Boating Course at The Maritime Aquarium. The course, a requirement in Connecticut for the operator of any motor boat or sail boat over 19.5 feet, is being presented in a, one-day format in one of the Aquarium's classrooms. This accelerated course prepares boaters and personal watercraft operators for a safe season on the water and earns them a state-required safety certificate. Topics covered during each course include safe and correct boating techniques, navigation rules, legal requirements, and safety at sea.
