Skippers
and potential Skippers usually have a number of unique questions
about participation and how things are done. The club offers
skipper's meetings separate from regular club meetings to address these issues.
SUS
members have also prepared a number of "guidelines" over
time. These suggest how you can best prepare for cruising, share in expenses and
other things that a new or prospective Skipper or crew member
will find useful. These are those things that members over the years have learned by
trial and error. Experience IS the best teacher.
Education Requirements:
As of the membership year 2002-2003, a member may not renew
his/her membership, nor join again at any future time, unless
he/she has met each of the following requirements:
1. Passed
either the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary's basic course (12 hours
minimum) or the U.S. Power Squadron's basic course (12 hours
minimum), or have held a U.S. Coast Guard license. This
requirement may also be met by presenting proof of
satisfactory completion of any boating course that is judged
by the Board of Directors to be at least equivalent to the
knowledge required for passing either of the two courses named
above. Any person who was a member on November 7, 2000, and
who held a Connecticut Safe Boating Certificate as of that
date, will be deemed to have met this requirement.
