Boating Tips For Beginners

Learning to boat or sail is similar to learning to drive an automobile. Neither one hap-
pens overnight. Learning to get around on the water can be exciting, but it can also be
intimidating to take over the reins of a boat for the first time.

Though beginners might be apprehensive when they first start to boat or sail, there are
some tips that can make it a little easier for those new to captaining their own ship.

• Start small. Much like teenagers learning to drive are often more comfortable learning
behind the wheel of a compact car, boating beginners might be more comfortable learning
to sail on a small boat. Smaller boats are easier to maneuver, making even the most ner-
vous novice a little more comfortable.

• Choose calm waters in which to practice. According to the United States Coast Guard,
in 2010 there were more than 4,600 recreational boating accidents that involved 672
deaths. That said, beginners should always practice in calm waters that don’t boast big
waves or lots of fellow boaters. This gives beginners the chance to learn the feel of the boat
without the added pressure.

• Read the weather reports. Veteran boaters struggle with inclement weather from time
to time, so beginners should expect to struggle with adverse conditions as well.

• Don’t go it alone. Boating and sailing come with their own terminology, which begin-
ners are typically unfamiliar with. Before heading out on the water, learn as much of this
terminology as possible, be it by studying manuals or books, or even asking experienced
friends for help.

• Respect other boaters. Boating is a hobby enjoyed by millions, and boaters should
always respect that there are other people on the water as well. Whether you’re out in the
middle of the ocean or relaxing at the pier on your docked boat, respect the other boaters
by keeping the music down and always discarding of trash in a responsible way.
