SAILING SKILLS

General（一般技能）

• Perform the duties of skipper and crew on a live-aboard coastal cruise of at least 48 hours
• Locate and check the condition of all federally required equipment.

Systems（系統技能）

• Perform a routine vessel inspection, ensuring that all systems and equipment are in working order, including:
  • fuel level
  • fresh water level
  • battery voltage
  • electrical system
  • navigation lights
  • instruments and electronics
  • bilge
  • through-hulls and seacocks
  • standing rigging
  • running rigging
  • deck hardware
  • ground tackle
• Visually inspect the auxiliary engine. Check for correct engine oil level and potential problems such as leaking fluids or frayed belts.
• Inspect the raw water strainer for debris and ensure that the raw water intake seacock is in the proper position for engine operation.
• Locate the emergency steering tiller and identify where it attaches to the rudder post.
• Operate the electric and manual bilge pumps to ensure they are functional.
• Demonstrate proper usage of the VHF radio, including hailing another station on Channel 16 and switching to a working channel.

• Demonstrate the proper method of disconnecting and reconnecting shore power cables.

Under Power（動力航行）

• Demonstrate the use of spring lines in the docking/undocking process (e.g., pivoting the vessel away from the dock during departure).
• Maneuver the vessel in reverse gear, observing and explaining the effect of prop walk on the stern’s direction.
