Boat handling has been designed to acquaint you with general boat-handling situations and teach you skills to handle your boat in various conditions. You'll gain confidence about basic operations; trimming your boat; operating on plane; handling seas and waves; dealing with bars, rivers, rivers, and bends; and other situations you will encounter along your cruise. And you'll have a better understanding about issues you can control, issues that the environment will present, and how to use and tie the two knots mariners most often use: the sheet bend and the bowline.
