As boating is often a family activity, the course is of value to all members of a boating family. USPS encourages families to attend as groups. Qualified, enthusiastic, and experienced USPS instructors provide instruction as a civic service. There is never a charge for instruction; the only costs are those for materials, plus overhead costs such as classroom rental, shipping and handling, sales tax, etc. While the content of this student manual serves as the basis for this course, it will also serve as a reference book in basic boating long after the course work is completed. The course meets the educational standards of the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and features a proctored examination as required by many states and insurance companies. The course will provide instruction and examination for laws and regulations of state and local authorities in the area where the course is taught. Boat Smart is offered as a public service by Daytona Beach Sail and Power Squadron every other month: April, June, August, October. The next class starts on April 5th, 2005. Registration is free, but there is a nominal charge for books and materials. Those interested should call (386) 254-0550 for additional information. |
Boat
Smart is a course for all boaters (the personal watercraft operator; the
hunter or fisherman operating an outboard utility boat; the skipper of a family
cruiser; the sailing enthusiast). All boaters must follow the same nautical
rules, regulations, and courtesies of the sea. All are subject to the same
forces of nature while boating.
