Flotilla 30-5 of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary will be offering the “About Boating Safely” course at Central Bank. This course will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lunch will be provided.
The course itself is free with the only associated cost being $20 for the text book. Supplements are available for families and others who wish to share one text book — $5 per person. You must pre-register and can sign up by contacting Tom Rice at 573-280-8530 or tvrice01@charter.net.
About Boating Safely is a fun and comprehensive boating safety course that covers topics such as: Know Your Boat; Before You Get Underway; Navigating the Waterways; Operating Your Boat/PWC Safely; Legal Requirements; Boating Emergencies; and Enjoying Water Sports with Your Boat.
Many insurance companies will offer discounts on boat insurance for taking and passing such a course. In addition, successful completion of the course, which has been approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, satisfies one of the prerequisites to obtaining a boating safety identification card from the Missouri State Water Patrol.
Missouri legislators passed a Mandatory Boater Education Law that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2005. This law requires that every Missouri resident born after Jan. 1, 1984 who operates a vessel on Missouri lakes must possess, on the vessel, a boating safety identification card issued by the Missouri State Water Patrol, along with a valid photo I.D. In addition, this law requires any person convicted of various infractions while boating to enroll in and successfully complete a boating safety education course.
