Boat Party: boat party-to-boat party calls. When you hear your Boat party called, put your transmitter on the air and say: "(Name of Boat party that called), this is (name of your Boat party), over." Switch to the agreed-upon inter-ship working channel. After the conversation is completed, say: "This is (name of your Boat party), out."
Shore-to-ship calls. When you hear the name of your Boat party called, put your transmitter on the air and say: "(Name of station that called), this is (name of your Boat party and call sign), over." After the conversation is completed, say: "This is (name of your Boat party), out."
After this first party, when the hostess has shown your pictures to all her friends and they have become the talk of the party-giving social set, you may find it is no longer necessary to make any effort to line up future parties, but simply keep an appointment book for the customers who call you.See Also Mako Boats:Radar is an excellent means of marine navigation and is used on vessels of all sizes, down to mako boats of about twenty feet in length. Although not installed on all recreational mako boats, its capabilities and limitations should be known to all boaters for their own safety when cruising on waters navigated by radar-equipped vessels.
The prudent skipper will have a thorough knowledge of the Rules that apply to all types of mako boats and ships that operate on waters that he or she uses. The official text of the Rules are in the Coast Guard publication Navigation Rules, International-Inland, which is available at most chart outlets. The major requirements that apply to recreational mako boats are listed briefly here.
On The Other Hand See Crestliner Boats:There are two electronic navigation systems available to skippers of crestliner boats as well as to navigators of large ships. The cost, size, and power requirements of these systems have now been reduced to the point that they are feasible options for crestliner boats of almost any size. The newer, and now the more widely used, system is the Global Positioning System (GPS). Also used by many boaters is Loran, an older system still in operation. Almost all new installations, however, are GPS.
To receive VSC approval, all recreational crestliner boats used on coastal waters or the Great Lakes must have a minimum of three Coast Guard-approved day and night visual distress signals that have not reached their expiration dates. Some signals, such as red flares, can serve for both day and night requirements. crestliner boats operating on inland waters should have some means of making a suitable day and night distress signals.
