Spring Boating Course

Our next CPS Boating Course will be starting January 3, 2012 and continuing to the mid April 2012. Classes are held every Tuesday night. Venue: Mark Isfield School 1900 - 2130hrs. Presently, the cost is $255, which includes all the books and materials required, or $430 per couple (if they wish to share books). All the instructors are volunteers. The course covers basic navigation (all classroom training... practical, weather permitting), collision regulations, aids to navigation and much more. There will be an examination at the end which will include using charts and plotting courses. Please be advised that, besides the two hour classes each week, there is homework. Some weeks, it is just a matter of reading a chapter or two. During the four weeks of navigation and chart training, it can be considerably more...depending on each students experience with charts or maps and using a compass and bearings.

You will also receive the PCOC (Pleasure Craft Operator Card )...now required by the Canadian Coast Guard to operate a vessel under 4 metres. For more information go to PCOC
