Does anyone know of study guides for maneuvering boards? I tried to plot it but it is very confusing.

Boatswainsmate.net has some good study guides for basic CPA and true wind stuff. For avoidance, intercept, and desired wind, look in the piloting & nav. section of the BM2 book. Step by step instructions. Trust me. BM.net is a great place, but nothing beats your book and the pubs it has you reference.

Give me a call on my cell at 303-547-7825and I will be MORE than happy to explain them and walk you step by step through each type or shoot me an email at kenneth.w.thomas@uscg.mil with the types of moboard you would like some help with and I will write out some step by step instructions for you. Will do me some good to shake off the dust since I have been riding a desk for the past two years.

Gotta agree with BotsnM8 and eeric291... order the EOC material for BM3 and BM2. That's your best bet.
