Seamanship
Objectifs pédagogiques
Module Outline:
1. SHIP CONSTRUCTION
- determine the vessel's main construction components
- recognize the terminology for locations on a vessel
- identify the major equipment systems
- identify different ship types and their major differences
- determine the engines on board
- determine the effect of engines on board (noise, interference)
- explain the purpose of derricks, davits, A-frames, cranes, winches and capstans
2. STABILITY
- basic stability principles
- list factors affecting ship stability and how to react
3. ROPES AND WIRES
- Recognize different types of wire, natural, and synthetic rope
- Tie a square knot, clove hitch, and bowline
- Give examples where each might be used on a boat or aboard ship
- Describe the purpose and use of block and tackle
- Describe methods for securing equipment for heavy weather
