Master the physics, rules, and psychology of High-Speed Craft. We cover the HSC Code, the Permit to Operate, and the critical "6-month currency rule." Beyond regulations, you will learn the "Scanner Mindset" to combat tunnel vision and adapt BRM for high-speed operations. This course provides the essential theoretical and operational baseline required for all HSC officers.

Are you driving the boat, or just following the green line? At high speed, "Screen Fixation" is a critical safety risk. This course is designed to break the ECDIS habit and retrain your focus on the reality outside. We move beyond basic tracking to master Raw Radar interpretation and Visual Navigation techniques. Learn why the brain prefers the screen, how to fight the comfort zone, and how to adopt a true Heads-Up mindset. Stop monitoring. Start navigating.

The HSC Code consists of 19 chapters. In Level 3, we cover the full structure chronologically, but with a laser focus on operational importance. We skim the engineering specs to dive deep into the regulations that dictate your survival: Equivalent Safety (Ch 1), Stability (Ch 2), Fire (Ch 5), and Evacuation (Ch 8). We conclude with the Captain’s "Bible": Handling (Ch 17) and Operational Requirements (Ch 18). Master the rulebook to master the craft.

Level 4 is the definitive technical guide to high-speed maneuvering. We move beyond basic steering to master the fluid dynamics of four distinct systems: Waterjets, CPP, Surface Drives, and Pods. This course transitions you from a vessel operator to a master of asymmetric forces. Learn the surgical precision of "Vector Control," the advanced geometry of "Crabbing" in heavy weather, and the physics of high-speed stability in following seas.

The hardest job isn't steering—it's deciding when to stop. This course tackles the "Grey Zone": balancing commercial pressure with safety. Learn to use the ISM Code as a shield, avoid the "Minimum Equipment" trap, and handle technical failures in narrow waters. We focus on real-world decision-making and legal documentation. Gain the confidence to cancel when risk outweighs reward.
