Like a car, boats must be operated according to safety rules and traffic regulations. Although
we include some basic boating tips in this manual, a thorough review of the safety rules and
regulations for boating is beyond the scope of this text.
We support the work of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary and the United States Power
Squadrons. We urge you to attend any instructional classes sponsored by these organizations.
Reference page 8 of
Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual
for training options, and page 23
for information on charts and maps. For further knowledge on boating, we advise that you review
