The Tokyo Sail and Power Squadron is offering preparatory classes in English for people interested in getting the Class 2 Small Boat Operator's license, which allows one to skipper a vessel up to 20 tons within 9 km (5 nautical miles) from Japan's shores, or the Class 1 license for operating vessels beyond 9 km. The tests (in English) will be held by JMRA on April 18. TSPS will hold study sessions for the tests on March 25, April 1, 8 and 15 at 7 p.m. For information, contact Tony Whitman at [email protected] or call (03) 3770-1513.
