Pre-registration is required. Course description below:
America’s Boating Course or ABC is a course for all boaters (the personal watercraft operator; the hunter or fisherman operating an outboard utility boat; the skipper of a family cruiser; the sailing enthusiast). All boaters must follow the same nautical rules, regulations, and courtesies of the sea. All are subject to the same forces of nature while boating.
As boating is often a family activity, the course is of value to all members of a boating family. USPS encourages families to attend as groups.
Qualified, enthusiastic, and experienced USPS instructors provide instruction as a civic service. There is never a charge for instruction; the only costs are those for the book and a small charge for the classroom rental.
The content of this student manual and interactive CD serve as a reference in basic boating long after the course work is completed. The course meets the educational standards of the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and features a proctored examination as required by many states and insurance companies. The course will provide instruction and examination for laws and regulations of state and local authorities in the area where the course is taught. You receive a certificate with which you can get your Washington State Boater’s Education Card.
