We think that all boaters not just new comers can use a boating refresher course. Learn about whats new in areas of hypothermia, first aid, applied GPS navigation and much much more. I would say a focused twelve year old is mature enough to understand and digest the material. (this will afford youngsters the opportunity to achieve a Boating Safety certificate card which is now required to operate any motorboat regardless of horsepower, if you are under sixteen.)
