Federal law may not require boaters to take a safety course of any kind, but that does not mean that boaters should hit the water without a good working knowledge of the basics. Making states do require that boaters below a certain age limit pass a safety course before they be allowed to legally operate the boat. In addition to this basic course, keeping a copy of "Boater101: A full-reference guide to boating basics" would be a smart move.

It is when you can exercise strategies for both that you are getting the most out of your boating experience. If you want to be more comfortable on the water, then " Boater101: A full-reference guide to boating basics" is the book that you have been looking for.
