On Water:
• Painter’s tape • 12 laminated Cards • Four marks • 12 colored sponges (Two Colors)
Progression of Learning - Chalk Talk Purpose Value Statement: Explain why this focus skill will help connect to their sailing knowledge.
To avoid collisions you need to know the rules of the road between different boat types on the water. Who needs to avoid and who has “right of way” over another boat.
Prior Skill Knowledge: What skills you need to know before learning about this new skill (brief review)
Parts of the boat and sailing terminology. Artful Questions (1-2) to engage youth and help them connect to their prior experiences
What other types of boat might you see on the water? Which ones move slower and which ones move faster? Do some have a harder time changing direction?
Content: Introduction:
When you’re out sailing you will need to know how to avoid collisions, identify who should avoid who, and who should keep sailing their course.
Talking point with detail:
In future lessons you will learn additional rules of the road like: when two sailboats meet. .
10 minutes Goal(s) What do you hope to accomplish?
Te sailors will successfully be able to identify the stand-on and give-way vessels. Tey will also learn to always avoid collisions.
Te stand- on vessel is the boat that continues to hold its course and speed. Te give-way vessel is the boat that needs to change or alter its course and speed to avoid a collision. Both stand-on and give-way vessels should plan to avoid collisions whenever possible.
GIVE-WAY GIVE-WAY
STAND-ON
STAND-ON
In general, the safest way to avoid the stand-on vessel is to pass by the vessel’s stern when crossing, or tacking away!
Use the 3 T’s - Tiller, Towards, Trouble.
Draw scenarios and their course (Use red marker for give-way course and a green marker for stand-on course): Tere is an order to who is the stand-on and give-way vessel per USCG regulations. Stand-on and give-way are based on a vessels maneuverability. • Large vessel constricted by size and constrained to the channel (like a ferry or cruise boat) • Sail boat under sail • Power boat. A sail boat under power is considered a power boat.
Check for Understanding: Ask questions that probe for understanding. Quiz students with different scenarios and drawings on the whiteboard.
