The United States Power Squadrons will present “Boat Handling Under Power”, part of the USPS University seminar series, at 9:00 a.m. on May 21st 2022 at Port of Egypt Marine in Southold. Attendees will learn techniques for controlling their boats in various situations and under a variety of wind or tidal conditions. The classroom seminar will be followed by an On the Water exercise using boats provided by Port of Egypt Marine. (Class size is limited, so advance registration is required.)
With many different types of boats, drive systems, weather conditions, sea conditions, boating circumstances and more, no two boating situations are exactly the same. Understanding these variations is the first step in being prepared to handle what life on the water throws your way. The Boat Handling Under Power seminar covers using lines to assist you; close quarters maneuvering; departing & docking; single screw, twin screw or jet drives; steering in reverse and much more. Learn some new skills for the summer season and even have the opportunity to try them on the water.
