Boating That Is Smart!
ASPS members believe that knowing your boat and how to operate and maintain it is the key to a good boating experience. To this end, ASPS offers the most extensive curriculum of boating courses available in the area. The curriculum includes Seamanship, Piloting, Advanced Piloting, Junior Navigation, Navigation, Engine Maintenance, Marine Electronics, Sail, and Cruise Planning. Available only to ASPS members, these courses typically are offered in ten to fifteen two-hour sessions on Monday evenings in the Fall and Winter. They are taught by experienced and certified instructors. In addition to these courses, ASPS also offers several seminars on boating-related topics. These seminars, available to the public, provide a good introduction and overview of the subject and include useful resource material. Each seminar is two to three hours in duration.
