What is taught?

What else do I need to be able to sail at sea?
For the coastal license FB1 (sailing area 1 applies to 3 SM and for boats up to a length of 10m), the practical examination for the 10m lakes and rivers skipper's license is credited. Only a theoretical examination (multiple choice tasks + map drawing) is required. This also takes place in Traunkirchen.
