Boating Experience

CONTROL HAZARD!
An experienced operator MUST be in control of your boat at ALL times. NEVER operate your
boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
If this is your first boat or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and
safety, get handling and operating experience before assuming command of your boat.
Take one of the boating safety classes offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. For
more course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact the organizations directly:
• U.S. Power Squadrons: 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-367-8777) or on the Internet at: http://www.usps.org
• In Canada, for the CPS courses call 1-888-CPS-BOAT.
• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 or on the Internet at: http://www.cgaux.org
Outside the United States, your selling dealer, national sailing federation, or local boat club can advise you of local
sea schools or competent instructors.
