- "Boat building is the design and construction of boats and their systems."
A guide on how to properly handle and maneuver a boat including docking, anchoring, and handling different conditions such as wind and waves.
Types of Boats: An introduction to various types of boats and their unique features and limitations.
Parts of a Boat: A detailed overview of boat anatomy, including different types of hulls, keels, masts, sails, and propellers.
Navigation Rules: Basic rules and regulations for operating a boat on the water, including right-of-way and navigation lights.
Docking and Mooring: Techniques for safely approaching, securing, and leaving a dock or mooring.
Propulsion Systems: A discussion of the various types of boat engines, including inboard, outboard, and jet drives, and how to maintain them.
Steering Systems: An overview of different types of steering systems and how they affect boat handling.
Maneuvering Underway: Techniques for turning, stopping, and reversing a boat while underway.
Wind and Currents: An explanation of how wind and currents affect boat handling and how to compensate for them.
Handling Different Conditions: Tips for handling different types of water conditions, such as rough seas and strong winds.
Communications and Safety: Proper use of emergency equipment, radios, and other communication devices to ensure safe boating.
Docking: Maneuvering a boat in and out of a narrow space or slip along a pier or dock.
Mooring: Securing a boat to a permanent dock, buoy, or anchor using appropriate knots and lines.
Anchoring: Dropping an anchor to stop the boat from moving or drifting.
Turning: Changing the direction of the boat using rudder and engine power.
Tacking: Turning the bow through the wind while sailing, so as to change the direction of the boat but keep the sails filled.
Jibing: Turning the stern of the boat through the wind while sailing, so as to change the direction of the boat but keep the sails filled.
Reversing: Driving the boat stern first, sometimes used for stopping or slowing down the boat.
Trim adjustment: Adjusting the weight distribution of the boat to improve its stability and performance.
Berthing: Docking a boat alongside a pier or quay.
Rafting: Tying boats together, parallel to a dock or alongside each other, to share dock space or to stay protected in harsh weather.
Maneuvering in restricted waters: Navigating through narrow or shallow waterways, marinas, or canals.
Steering: Controlling the direction of the boat using the wheel or tiller.
Crew coordination: Managing the coordination of crew members to execute safe maneuvers and to communicate necessary information.
Emergency maneuvers: Performing swift and safe maneuvers to avoid collisions, grounding, or other accidents.
Navigation: Plotting a safe course, navigating using charts and instruments, and avoiding hazards.
