Welcome Aboard and Thank You for applying for membership in T-BART! Once our Membership Director receives your training certificate your Onboarding will begin. If you applied as a captain, you will be contacted by the Director of Training. Everyone will receive a Welcome confirmation email from the Director of Communications. You will also receive an email from the Training Administrator outlining the training process and an email from your Mentor who will guide you through the rest of the Onboarding process.
​

Next Steps:

Complete your training prerequisite: 
If you have not completed and submitted a boater certification course please visit BoatUS online training site and select the free "State Specific Boating Safety Course". https://courses.boatus.org/​

Practice knots used by captains and crew:
Every boater needs to be able to tie a proper cleat hitch. We depend on this knot to keep our boats safely secured to a dock or tied up to another boat.  Tying the cleat hitch correctly ensures that it will stay tied and will be easy to untie. The American Sailing Association has provided a short, easy to understand video that provides instructions for tying a proper cleat hitch.
