Collision Regulations (IRPCS)- Classroom
Delivered in partnership with Sistership Training. This course is also part of the Coastal Navigation Course. Boating is not a contact activity and there are rules to keep them from coming into contact, they are called the IRPCS (International Regulation for Prevention of Collision at Sea), or ColRegs for short. Every one that puts to see must know these, or it is like driving a car without knowing the rules of the road: it is dangerous. You are going to be sharing the water with vessels of different sizes, manoeuvrability, function and conditions. There are rules that you need to know that establish which vessels need to give-way, and how to do it properly. The ColRegs also cover the use of light and shapes, sound signals, narrow channels, Traffic Separation Schemes, assessing a risk of collision, and conduct in restricted visibility.
For those aspiring to enter the commercial world, knowing these rules inside-and-out is of paramount importance.
