National Safe Boating Council’s
Close-Quarters Boat Handling Course
April 13 – 14, 2008
The Close-Quarters Boat
Handling Course is a defensive boat handling and close quarter control
instructor course that focuses on maneuvers and techniques for enforcement
officers and agencies that need good skills in operating power boats while
performing their duties. The Close Quarter Control course was designed as a
training program that focuses on knowing what to do and when to do it. It is
skills based using factors like the wind and current to assist you in putting
your boat where you want it to be. Although practice is a critical part of
being able to handle your craft proficiently, proper practice is what this
program is all about. This program was designed for the
professional/occupational boat operator such as marine enforcement officers and
safety personnel that operate a boat in the performance of their duties. It is
structured to meet the needs of these enforcement agencies whose safety
enforcement officers place themselves and their craft in compromising positions
when trying to control and communicate with errant boaters.
This is a two-day course.
Upon successful completion of the course, candidates will receive a boat
handling proficiency certificate from the NSBC.
The Close-Quarter Boat
Handling Course will be offered prior to the Summit on April 13 – 14, 2008, from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. each day, at the
Bahia in San Diego, California. The cost
for the two-day course is $350 if you pre-register by March 13, 2008. Late
registration is $400 if you register after March 13, 2008. The class size is
limited to 5 students.
