Sandusky Public Boating Classes

The Sandusky Power Squadron usually teaches the America's Boating Course 3rd Edition to the general public twice annually at two Sandusky area locations. Sandusky Power Squadron stresses safe boating operations, regulations, learning plotting, compass courses, bearings, dead reckoning, distance-speed-time calculations and marlinespike.

Trained members of the Sandusky Power Squadron at no cost provide the instruction to students.  There is a nominal fee for the student manual.  Some type of protractor and dividers may be required.

Licensing:  These courses are approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and meet all current and known future requirements for non-commercial state licenses.  Beginning January 1st, 2000, Ohio's Mandatory Boater Education Law requires all persons born on or after January 1st, 1982 to pass a boater education course prior to operating a PWC or Power boat of 10hp or more.

Saving Money:  Many insurance companies offer a reduced premium to boat owners who have passed this course.  Check with your agent.
