California. Dept. of Boating and Waterways, 2016, 135 p.
Congratulations on your first step towards keeping California’s waterways safe.
The boating safety course you are about to begin is designed to provide California
boaters with state specific boating laws and federal navigation requirements in
an eight hour home study environment. These laws apply to recreational vessels
including power, sail, personal watercraft and paddlecraft such as kayaks, canoes
and stand up paddleboards.
The course, includes a 60-question, multiple-choice test booklet, answer sheet and
return envelope to be sent to the Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) for
scoring. Boaters will receive from DBW a certificate of completion upon passing
the test (80 percent and above). The certificate is accepted for court-ordered
requirements.
