DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions apply. Beginner - a novice who has begun a course of instruction or is learning the fundamentals.
Cruising Speed - the speed at which the boat is operating for optimum performance, safety, and efficiency. The actual speed is dependent upon the design of the hull. Speed for a particular boat, usually below the maximum, that is comfortable and economical and not necessarily at wide open throttle.
NOTE: Three quarter throttle often provides an acceptable balance of speed and fuel efficiency.
Entry-Level - the proficiency reached by a person who has successfully completed an appropriate amount of beginner instruction, or has achieved a sufficient level of experience, to be ready to pursue (or ‘enter’ safely into) recreational boating.
Idle Speed - the speed of the boat through the water when continuously in gear at the lowest revolutions per minute (RPM) possible.
Minimum Control Speed - the slowest speed at which an operator can effectively control the heading of the boat using an intermittent application of power, steerage, and headway.
On-Water Instruction - a course or program of instruction that is boat-based and on the water for skills development and assessment. Instruction takes place primarily in the natural setting of the boat with experiential/active learning as the primary method of delivery used by instructors.
Passenger - any person on board, excluding the operator. Planing Speed - on hulls capable of planing, the speed at minimum RPM needed for the boat to remain on plane.
Proficiency - a description of the behaviors and actions that demonstrate the level of competence, accomplishment, or skill in operating a recreational boat. Skill - the learned capacity, aptitude, or ability to do something. Underway - when a boat is not at anchor or made fast to the shore, or aground.
