Boating Seminars

Konts, Bends and Hitches

Take home a seminar booklet and laminated guide for your boat.

VHF radio is the mainstay of coastal communication and essential for emergency communications. Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is rapidly becoming a reality as more Coast Guard Rescue 21 System operations go live. Currently, the mid Atlantic coast is operational with DSC. The Gulf region will be operational early next year and all Cutters will be DSC equipped by next year.

    The Knots, Bends, and Hitches seminar is a hands-on "learn how to tie knots" program geared to a wide range of audiences. The kit comes with a copy of the USPS Guide Knots, Bends and Hitches for Mariners, a copy of the slide notes and a kit including a die-cut knot board and two lengths of line.

    Participants learn about knots, learn to tie a set of the most useful knots, and then get to take the whole package home with them to practice these and a whole host of other knots described in the book.

The next seminar will be held on February 20, 2010. The cost is $40.

There is a special pricing for a captain and mate.

Location: S.H.A.R.E. Center,
6 Office Park Rd., suite 915
(First Right off Pope Avenue After the Sea Pines Circle)
