BRUNSWICK — Looking for an exciting, in-depth boating safety course? The United States Power Squadron is offering America’s Boating Course beginning March 7 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The course will run for seven weeks and be held at Brunswick High School.
This nationally certified course will provide students with the completion certificate needed to operate a motorboat in most states. In addition, many boat insurance companies offer discounts on boating insurance to boaters who successfully complete this course.
Not only will passing a boating safety course possibly provide a discount on boat insurance, it will also improve the water safety skills of participants. Boat safety courses are an excellent investment of time and money. Course instruction will be provided by certified instructors of the Wawenock Sail & Power Squadron. Learn the basics of boating, rules of the road, navigational lights and buoys, use of compass for bearings, marine charts and introduction to piloting.
The cost is $90 to cover course materials. You can register through Merrymeeting Adult Ed at www.merrymeeting.maineadulted.org or by calling 729-7323.
