The 2008 Boat Smart®  Schedule

Acquire the knowledge to become a better and safer boater!  This four session course teaches: Boat Handling and Safety, Rules of the Road, and Equipment and Safety issues. Since USPS is a not-for-profit organization, the course is offered to the public at a very nominal cost (please see cost schedule below). The course is very useful for those planning on purchasing a boat, or those who already own a boat but have never had any formal training in the various aspects of boat design, operation, and safety.  All course sessions are taught by volunteer, experienced, qualified instructors.

 Through the generosity of the organizations listed below, we are able to offer the course several times a season and at locations convenient to most everyone. The final session is reserved for answering any additional questions, taking the final examination, receiving course completion certificates, providing additional booklets and information useful to every boater, and providing you with membership information. We look forward to having you join us.

Please note, you must pre-register for a course in advance to help us make certain there are adequate materials and space.
