I don't believe you learn how to dock a boat in the NH boating classes. I didn't. The classes focus primarily on rules and regulations as well as some practical knowledge. When you get a drivers license you have to demonstrate the ability to actually drive a car. Same with a motorcycle, but not so with a boat.

And then what kind of boat would you be tested on? I bet many small boat operators don't know what scope is. If you're going to anchor a boat though you should know what it is.
