Vessel Operations 101
Learn the basics of seamanship and vessel operations with CBMM’s Conservation Shipwright Kaeo Clarke and Schooner Sultana Capt. Kate Dumhart on the weekend of Aug. 29-30. Students will gain experience aboard two vessels, a modern outboard powered 16-foot skiff and a traditional inboard powered 29-foot Smith Island crab scrape, plus 1909 crab dredger Old Point. In this class, we will introduce you to the skills needed to gain confidence out on the water and confidence means more fun!
In this class expect to learn:
– Basic dock line management, coiling, stowing, cleat hitches and some easy to learn knots, as well as strategies for tying up your boat in different scenarios
– The theory and practice of close quarters maneuvering on and off the dock as well as getting on and off the anchor
