EDU-2 ON-WATER RECREATIONAL BOATING SKILLS – HUMAN-PROPELLED
Based on ABYC's assessment of the existing technology, and the problems associated with achieving the goals of this standard, ABYC recommends compliance with this standard no later than July 3, 2023. FOREWORD
This consensus-based standard is designed to support course providers and raise the overall level of quality, availability, and consistency of on-water, skills-based instruction in entry-level recreational human-propelled craft operation. It functions within a national system of standards for recreational boat operation. This standard (ABYC EDU- 2, On-Water Recreational Boating Skills - Human-Propelled) is designed to help course providers: a) determine what skills to include in an on-water entry-level course curriculum, and b) develop student assessment approaches for determining successful completion of an entry-level course or auditing courses.
Course providers who want to design, deliver, or evaluate an on-water course aimed at developing the skills identified in this standard should use ABYC EDU-4, On-Water Recreational Boating Skills - Instruction. EDU-4 defines the elements of the instructional approach and will assist education providers in ensuring that their courses will produce students who can perform the skills identified in EDU-2. Education providers are also encouraged to use the technical support documents (TSDs) developed by the US Sailing Association that accompany EDU-2 and EDU-4 to support the design and implementation of on-water entry-level instruction.
In addition, it is recommended that course providers use ANSI/NASBLA 101-2017: Basic Boating Knowledge - Human- Propelled (or most current equivalent) and its accompanying technical report to align knowledge and on-water skills- based course content. ANSI/NASBLA 101-2017 defines the fundamental knowledge elements (e.g., navigation rules, aids to navigation, required equipment, trip planning and preparation, safe boat operation, emergency preparedness, etc) referred to in EDU-2 that entry-level recreational human-propelled boat operators must possess as an integral part of safe boat operation.
The standard is organized as follows: •
Individual skills are organized within eight boat operations for ease of reference. Each skill can be applied to other operations.
• Each skill is described in two parts, following the leading stem phrase "The operator is able to ...". • The first part (Part A) is the skill, and the second part (Part B) is the condition, or 'proficiency,' associated with the successful performance of that skill.
• Numerical identifiers assigned to each skill are for ease of reference only, and do not imply any sequential process for learning or performance, or that the skill only applies to that boat operation.
SCOPE
This standard defines the entry-level skills students are able to demonstrate upon successful completion of on-water entry-level courses of instruction in recreational human-propelled vessel operation. The skills are intended to apply to human-propelled vessels under the following conditions: • • •
flat water; current less than one knot; protected from the wind and waves; and • daytime with no restricted visibility or threatening weather.
For recreational boat operations where the boat is underway, individual skills are to be accomplished in accordance with any aids to navigation, navigational rules, and any regulations applicable to the location in which the skill is being executed.
