Many first time sailors assume sailing is easy. After all, the ocean is wide and there are no stop signs or obvious hazards. However, in reality, many hazards to navigation exist just below the surface of the water. These must be searched for using the latest charts and equipment and proper vessel training.

​

Sharing the sea lanes with other vessels requires skill and knowledge of the rules of the road. Finally, safety regulations, best practices, and Maritime Law must all be adhered to strictly. For this, professional guidance and vessel training is not only a practical necessity but a legal one.

​

Moreover, following the law is important, but taking the time to learn the behaviors of a large ship on the water is critical. It is a matter of training the nerves as well as the mind. Reid Marine Services in Chilliwack, British Columbia will be there to help you from beginning mastery.
