BOATCREW QUALIFICATION

TRAINING SCHEDULE 2009

Winter/Spring Shoreside Training Tasks

Wednesdays 1900, US Coast Guard Station Merrimack River

65 Water Street, Newburyport, MA

(Underway Tasks During Summer Boating Season)

It is necessary that candidate read the assigned reference material in the Boat Crew Seamanship Manual prior to the class. The instructor will REVIEW the material and respond to any questions in an effort to reinforce your retention. In order to participate in underway training, each trainee is required to purchase and wear the operational dress uniform (ODU) and to provide their own PPE (life jacket and other safety equipment explained in the course of shoreside training).

A candidate's knowledge and understanding of each task requirement must be made to the satisfaction of a Mentor. If you do not find one on your own, ask! All Coxswains in Division 3 have been designated as Mentors. Once the training is completed, each candidate must sit with a Qualification Examiner for a Dockside Oral Examination (BCM-08-03) and after underway training is completed, must also participate in an Underway Check Ride (BCM-08-04). Only a Qualification Examiner has the authority to qualify a candidate for Boat Crew.
