mooring, tides & currents, safety, “rubber ducks” Chapters 9, 12


Angle of the bow into the water, boathandling skills, docking Chapters 5-­‐9


Trims the boat either through use of trim tabs or shifting passengers; secures the boat to the dock using correct lines/knots


Safe return to dock (Cleaning of vessel)


Checks boat systems for safe operation; approaches dock considering current, wind & boat traffic


Demonstrates safe boarding (3 pts of contact);Uses shift, throttle & steering appropriate to depart from dock/return to dock; steers a straight course; performs high-­‐speed stop (90 degree turn);safely executes a pivot turn; holds position near an object; backs the boat; smoothly changes course 45 degrees/high speed
