Contains 2 Programs
that cover 38 United
States Coast Guard Navigation Rules and Regulations,
which have been developed for both inland and international
waters. Not only will you learn what the rules are,
but how to apply, understand and operate your vessel
under any condition of visibility. You'll also learn
how to assess risk situations and to avoid collisions
whether in narrow channels, while overtaking, crossing
or in head-on situations to make your boating safer
and more enjoyable. Subjects covered include: Requirements
for navigational lights and day shapes, Maneuvering
and warning signals, Towing and pushing, Sound signals,
Distress signals, Sailing and steering rules for different
size vessels. Our waterways are controlled by a system
of markers commonly known as "Aids to Navigation." This
consists of a system of buoys, daybeacons, lights,
light platforms, radio beacons and foghorns. Whether
a powerboater or sailor, this excellent guide will
teach you how to read these markers to improve your
overall boating skills and enhance your enjoyment on
the water.
