Upon completion of the CVRA Driving School, students will have the skills and knowledge to compete in an outboard racing event.

The instructor will review hull design (Hydroplanes and Runabouts), motors, propellers, safety equipment (including life jacket, helmet, and Kevlar), general safety rules for the event, scoring, starting, and flagging.
