Basic Outboard course

Spent a warm day on the water teaching a Basic Outboard Standard course. If you have access to a boat with an outboard, then you may benefit from the course which covers boat handling, weather, basic chart reading, regulations and boating etiquette as well as other topics.

Want the standard, however, no boat? My client rented a boat from a local rental operator, for the day and hired me to teach the standard.

Purchase the Basic Powerboat Skills manual for $39 plus shipping and GST. Study the manual and complete the Review Questions at the end of each chapter and then arrange for time on the water.
 
Complete are the on-water Standards, take the exam and get certified. If you wish the certification, additional costs are the Sail Canada logbook, $30 plus GST and a $24 registration fee.
