Saludos a todos los cofrades, como algunos sabréis por razones profesionales estoy viviendo en Florida desde comienzo del 2011 e intento ir contando mis experiencias con el único fin de dar a conocer otras realidades distintas a la nuestra en relación a la Náutica.
Me gustaría compartir con vosotros la información recabada en relación a la necesidad de títulos en USA para poder navegar y así podáis tener mayor información al respecto.
En líneas generales en USA no necesitas titulación oficial o legal para poder practicar la navegación deportiva. El único requisito es tener tu seguro, un material de seguridad mínimo bastante sencillo (dependiendo de la eslora, chalecos, bengalas, extintor, bocina, objeto flotante que puedas lanzar) y pagado el impuesto de navegabilidad
Ahora bien si que hay ciertas titulaciones.
Puedes acceder a varios tipos de cursos a través entre otras de de las siguientes organizaciones
-American Sailing Association y US Power Squadron.
En el primer caso tienen una amplia variedad de cursos como os detallo a continuacion
Así mismo en el caso de Florida el USCG y FL Fish and wildlife conservation comission emiten certificados a aquellas personas que han realizado y aprobado un curso sobre el manejo de embarcaciones deportivas. Es una especie de titilación reconocida oficialmente muy sencilla de obtener ya que puedes hacer el curso y examinarte por Internet (de hecho pagas cuando has aprobado!!!!)
A continuación os detallo los principales cursos del ASA. Es en ingles pero creo que se entiende
