The course builds on the knowledge acquired in the Boating Course. It discusses the aspects of regulations, navigational and intermediate plotting skills; seamanship skills, emergencies and boat’s capabilities and performance.

A graduate of the Seamanship Course will have the theoretical knowledge to be able to handle a boat in rough weather, and to deal with emergency situations.

Boating Course subjects are expanded to include Relative Bearings and the Running Fix; effects of current and leeway, and new skills in marlinspike and coastal navigation are learned.
