COASTAL NAVIGATION COURSE
Once summer is over our thoughts will soon turn to putting our boats to bed for the winter. But this doesn’t have to signal the end of boating for the year. Why not join us one evening a week for an interesting, challenging and fun experience?
Our Coastal Navigation course is the perfect way to enhance your skills and interact with fellow enthusiasts. The course will teach you how to safely navigate in coastal and inland waters. We have also added an electronic component to the curriculum in light of the fact that most people today rely heavily on their electronic equipment. It is important to know how to navigate the “old fashion way” as electronics such as GSP are only one of the tools needed to be a good and safe navigator.
Time and location TBA
