Presentation Transcript

  1. SERPENTINE COURSE Develop relationships to fixed objects while maneuvering to port/starboard. Become familiar with the steering capabilities of the vessel. Become familiar with the steering and throttle coordination of the vessel. Learn how to prevent ventilation.

  2. TRANSITION to SLALOM MANEUVERING Learn how the boat stern responds to short turns of the wheel at cruising speed

  3. PORT STARBOARD OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE MANEUVER Operations to simulate evasive maneuvers necessary to avoid a fixed object at cruising speed.

  4. 4 3 5 1 2 STAR PATTERN MANEUVERING • Skills necessary to maneuver a boat in tight quarters. • Boats enter between buoys 1 and 2, forward between buoys 3 and 4, reverse between buoys 1 and 5, forward between buoys 2 and 3, reverse between buoys 4 and 5, then forward & out of the pattern between buoys 1 and 2. On any maneuver, the boat’s centerline should not drift past the buoys. Consider wind and current before entering
