Welcome Aboard and Thank You for applying for membership in T-BART! Once our Membership Director receives your training certificate and your $10 payment, 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. Shortly after that, you will receive a Training Welcome 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 including training and for a year after that.

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.
