Skipper Saver
This
program is a blend
of two USPS®
objectives -
SAFETY and
EDUCATION . Its
purpose is to help
the student acquire
basic boat handling
ability without
frills or
superfluous
information. The
idea is to learn how
to operate a boat
safely in an
emergency without
the throes of panic.
It
consists of three
classroom lessons
which cover:
situations requiring
immediate action,
boat handling and
use of the
radiotelephone. A
fourth session on
the water in the
family boat is a
practical
demonstration of the
classroom work. A
helpmate section
provides reference
on what to do in
situations requiring
first aid, special
needs of guests,
useful knots,
radiotelephone
procedures and boat
handling. A Skipper
Saver Patch and
Certificate are
available for
presentation to
those who
successfully
complete the
program.
