Preface
The BOATING SKILLS AND SEAMANSHIP TEXT is produced by the
Department of Education of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. The course
for which it is written is recognized as the most comprehensive available today for
pleasure boaters. Its up-to-date subject material covers essential boating informa-
tion and regulations for pleasure boaters. It is professionally written for adults in
simple language， and liberally illustrated with pictures and diagrams.
The text and course are indicative of the resources of the entire Coast Guard
Auxiliary. Much of its contents reflects the Auxiliary s training， experience and
capabilities in Search and Rescue， Aids to Navigation patrols and our Courtesy
Marine Examinations. The latter program consists of our checking without charge，
at the owners request， equipment on pleasure boats for state and federal require-
ments plus other minimum standards.
Further， the value of the BOATING SKILLS AND SEAMANSHIP TEXT and
associated material is greatly enhanced by the assistance of the United States Coast
Guard.
The course is presented by qualified and certified Auxiliary instructors， who
voluntarily give their time to share， with you， their knowledge in boating skills.
Many insurance companies discount premiums for their boat insurance to those
graduating and holding certificates for this course.
Other public education courses are also offered by the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
They include BASIC BOATING (3 lessons)， SAILING AND SEAMANSHIP
(7-12 lessons)， COASTAL PILOTING (7-12 lessons) and youth courses.
The Department of Education of the Auxiliary and the United States Coast
Guard are to be commended for their efforts in providing this service to the
pleasure boating public.~ ~
