NSBC - Module 4

This fourth skill-builder course focuses on Open Water Advanced Maneuvering.  You will learn how to reach and come down from planing mode without getting stuck plowing your boat through the waves. When driving at speed, you will learn the important differences and skills used in gradual, sharp and avoidance turning maneuvers.

In open water, you will also come in close proximity to larger boats, so you will learn how to properly handles waves and wakes, emergency stops and man-overboard retrievals.

On the Water Session

  • Properly Handle Wakes & Waves

In open water, you will also come in close proximity to larger boats, so you will learn how to properly handles waves and wakes, emergency stops and man-overboard retrievals.

By learning these advanced maneuvering skills, you will be more confident and thus safer on the open water.  And trust us, nothing is more embarassing that returning to port with fewer people that you left with. As Ricky used to tell Lucy, "you got a lot of explaining to do....".

Just don't be that guy!
