Tidal or non-Tidal?
Protecting your Rights, Promoting your Interests
Tidal or non-Tidal:
From 2017 recognition will no longer distinguish between tidal
and non-tidal centres
• All Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper practical courses must cover ‘tidal’ considerations
– Boat handling in moving water
– Allowing for set and drift during navigation and pilotage
– Importance of researching tidal gates when passage planning
– Vertical datum and tidal heights
• The concepts must be covered
• Wherever possible practically applied
