In partnership with Goodhue Boat Company (formerly Shep Brown’s Boat Basin) of Meredith, NH, the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will offer “On Water Safety Instruction.”
Designed for individuals with a boater’s license who seek to refine and practice their boating skills, the two-hour class will be offered on Tuesday, June 14 at 9 a.m., 12 noon, and 2 p.m. The class will also be offered every Tuesday during those same times, July 5 – September 6. Each individual class is limited to two persons to “maximize the instructional value,” according to NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings.
“This is a class taught by Paul French, a NH State Certified Boating Education Instructor, so this is a unique opportunity to learn from a professional,” she said.
In the class, instruction will cover the basic handling characteristics of boats, docking, backing up, entering and leaving a slip, and turning around in limited spaces. “These are the practical boat driving skills that are not covered in boating licensing classes,” added Cummings.
Instruction will be provided in a 21-foot Chaparral Bowrider. Taking place at the docks of Goodhue Boat Company Marina on Lovejoy Sands Road in Meredith, the class includes one hour of hands-on operation and one hour of observation. Limited to two persons, “On Water Safety Instruction will be offered on Tuesday, June 14 at 9 a.m., 12 noon, and 2 p.m. The class will also be offered every Tuesday during those same times, July 5 – September 6.
