How to Read a Chart 101
This will take a look at the various charts of Lake Winnipesaukee and through a power-point presentation, give some differences between them. Also planned is a discussion on what the various buoys indicate, what sort of warning signs are on the Lake (for boaters), and by the end of the class you should have some basic knowledge of charting on Lake Winnipesaukee. |

Ladies at the Helm
Sorry guys, this is for the ladies only! A brief classroom time, discussing boat operation and handling, and then, courtesy of Fay’s Boat Yard, we’ll go out on a pontoon boat for some practical work (weather permitting). After that, if you’re interested in further instruction, arrangements can be made with a qualified instructor for individual lessons on your own boat. |
