Waukegan Sail & Power Squadron
Here's the classes we'll be offering.
America's Boating Course (ABC) is our basic boating course and will begin at College of Lake County on Thursday, January 27 from 7-9pm. Classes finish up March 24. You can register at the College of Lake County IL web site, the class is CREC 23 - Boating Safety.
Marine Electrical System begins Wednesday February 9 from 7-9pm.
Marine Electrical Systems (MES) covers the practice of wiring your boat, including boat electrical wiring practices and diagrams, direct and alternating current power, galvanic and stray current corrosion, and lightning protection. Troubleshooting is emphasized throughout, so students should feel comfortable performing even tricky wiring tasks after passing this course. This is usually an 8 week class.
Seamanship start Thursday March 31 from 7-9pm.
Seamanship builds on the basics of recreational boating presented in the ABC course, Seamanship adds foundational information for continuing boater education. The course contents should facilitate knowledge development for increased safe operation of recreational boats and provide the basis for completion of USCG licensing examination. Emphasis within the course has been placed on higher level boating skills, rules of the road, and marlinespike. This is usually an 8 week class.
Piloting start Thursday March 31 from 7-9pm.
Piloting is the first of the navigational classes focusing on techniques for piloting a boat in coastal and inland conditions. The course emphasizes planning and checking along with the use of GPS for determining position, and introduces digital charting along with traditional charting, compass and dead reckoning skills. Plotting, labeling, use of the compass, aids to navigation and a host of related topics are included in this all-new approach to coastal and inland piloting. This is usually an 8 week class.
