Hey Ryan,
How about a course on "stay off the bottom", or "rules of the road", better yet "considerate boating", Then there is GPS navigation and the tools of the trade". These titles would help all boaters learn what is needed to safely travel the waterways. These I learned long before I learned how to sail from my Dad, whom didn't sail, and it helped me all the years I spent on the water as an adult.
the lack of these courses were the major factor of my choosing to sail south of the good old U.S. of A. "Got Tests?" "Got completion of course diploma?" if so you could slip such information into a course and improve travel on the US water ways.
Oh yes, I can teach someone how sail in an hour, but the other topics take much longer. I am a slow responder to e-mail but if you would like some help on classes you could ask me and we would switch to another of my e-mail addys.
