After completion of the class, students receive a free six-month United States Power Squadron/Pamlico Sail and Power Squadron membership. The course also meets North Carolina Boating Law change requiring certification for anybody under the age of 26 operating a vessel with a 10 horsepower or more motor.

The final seminar is set for May 24, also at the Park Boat Company. It covers anchoring and understanding the issues and problems involving the methods used to anchoring.
