Rules of the Nautical Road
Rules of the Nautical Road
A complete home study course on the Navigation Rules. Now platform independent. Run on Mac or PC. All content of our previous Nav Rules Trainer software is now incorporated into the online course.
Includes a printed copy of the Nav Rules Handbook.
Description
This course covers all aspects of Navigation Rules, starting from the basics and ending with all you need to navigate safely according to the Rules. It is for power and sail vessels, large and small, recreational or professional. The Rules are the same for "...every description of watercraft used as a means of transportation on water."
There are no prerequisites for the Nav Rules Course. There are a few instances where knowledge of specific navigation techniques is presumed, but these will be referenced and explained as they arise. Those planning to use radar on their vessel, will find that our Radar Course is extremely valuable in applying the rules that relate to radar usage, but this is not a prerequisite for this course.
