It’s time to do this! The complete instructions (International and Inland (USA)) on how to avoid other boats. What to do, what not to do and when to do it. Knowledge check to show your insurance company and your attorney (heaven forbid you ever need one!). Proven insights from a former Royal Navy Warship-Driving Officer.
Increase your confidence and become knowledgeable of the Rules that you use every moment you are driving your boat that will keep you safe so that you have more fun out on the water.
• Knowledgeable of the Rules that you use every moment you are driving your boat that will keep you safe so that you have more fun out on the water.
Whether your boat is power or sail, 15-feet (4 meters) to 150-feet (45 meters), if you are a recreational boater, this course is for you. No more stressing over who gives way to whom, slowing down for everyone else, being at the mercy of other boaters who think the only rule they need is “Might has Right” and the “Law of Gross Tonnage”.
There’s no quick and easy way to learn the rules. The course lasts a little under 3-hours and you are encouraged to view it several times. Each of the pertinent rules (instructions) is verbalized in its official legal entirety. You do not need to memorize it, but it is important that you understand the existence of each rule and its wording. Some rules are very quick, others are lengthier. Stay with it – your instructor will then instill “what it means” for you on your boat. You must take the time to absorb these expert insights from your instructor.
You should know who your instructor is! Meet David Morris. A former British Royal Navy warship driving Officer and yacht captain. David qualified for the Royal Yachting Association Yachtmaster Offshore Power and Sail Captain’s license in 1988. He got his first captains’ position that same year, in Spain and took a 90-foot yacht through the Straits of Gibralter along the coast of North Africa. David joined the Royal Navy in 1991. He Graduated from Brittania Royal Naval College, Dartmouth (UK), having completed initial sea training and “Fleet Time” in two anti-submarine frigates deployed to the western Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Western Pacific. David received specialists navigators training and intensive word-perfect examination passes on the Collision (Navigation) Rules. David was the Officer of the watch in two sea going appointments culminating as senior bridge watch keeping officer in HMS Newcastle, a guided missile destroyer which David navigated in some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Throughout this time, David was required to pass monthly written exams on the Collision Rules in order to maintain operational status. David also administered, instructed and reviewed other Officer’s performance and knowledge on the Collison Rules.
You will thank yourself for taking these steps to a more enjoyable, stress-free experience.
