CHART SMART
Chart Smart is a course for all graduates of the USPS Boat Smart or America's Boating Course (ABC) who are interested in information on compasses, charts, and plotting courses. It builds upon the knowledge gained in Boat Smart or America's Boating Course by covering subjects typically introduced in the Squadron Boating Course:
- Mariner's Compass
- Charts
- Aids to Navigation
- Plotting a Course
- Distance, Speed, Time
- Determining Position
The purpose of Chart Smart is to teach various techniques
to determine position when within sight of, or in near
proximity to, land. This course is designed to give the
student an introduction to the subject known as Piloting.
As such, it may also appeal to squadron members as a
refresher prior to taking the Advanced Grade course of
Piloting.
