You will have to use the AMVER Manual (provided on Brightspace) and refer to the Amver
PowerPoint to complete these two reports. You must also use the information provided below

Helpful hints:

• Ensure to use all capital letters in this report, as this is how reports should be sent.

• When completing the sailing plan, remember only the “main” parts of the voyage plan
need to be included. You do not need to include the transit from the pier to sea buoy or
sea buoy to pier.

• You may find it more efficient to copy and paste the example reports found in the
Amver manual PDF on BrightSpace and update the necessary information (instead of
manually copying and typing the full report).

• If you can figure out how to use TurboWin or AmverSeas software, go for it! This is what
is used in the real world, but it may take a while to get installed and set up depending
on your situation. I would recommend doing these reports manually, it will take less
time.

Grading: There are three possible grades for this assignment, counted as a quiz grade.

o 100% - report is complete and correct (a few errors is okay)

o 85% - report is incomplete, wrong information or has too many errors
o 0% - no submission received or report does not have correct format
