The NSBC's Junior Captain Course is a pilot course for teens interested in learning on-water powerboating skills and maneuvers. In partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard and BoatU.S. Foundation, 'Junior Captain' is focused on teaching teens valuable safe boating lessons and preparing the next generation of junior captains. During the on-water course, teens will be led through a step-by-step progression focusing on terminology, equipment, steering straight, stopping, turns up to 180-degree, docking, ferrying, avoidance turns, person overboard and retrieval.
Twenty-eight teens participated in the training this fall at the Norwalk and Annapolis boat shows!
