May 16-22 is Safe Boating Week! Our friends at the Canadian Safe Boating Council have five important points they want to make this year. Here they are with a lens for Jericho style craft.

🦺 Wear your Lifejacket or Personal Floatation Device – If you’re not wearing your PFD when you fall in the water it can’t help you. Wearing your PFD while on the water is as sensible as wearing a seatbelt in your road vehicle.

🚫 Boat Sober – The same laws that apply to drinking and driving apply to boating while under the influence. Alcohol is a factor in 40% of boating related deaths in Canada. Keep the alcohol for time ashore after you’ve been on the water.

📖 Take a Course – More knowledge brings more competence and pleasure. Learning from an accredited source gives you best practices and the knowledge to be safe right away. Our school partners at Jericho are ready to teach you new skills.

✅ Be Prepared, You and Your Vessel – Do you have a paddle, bailer, whistle and buoyant heaving line? Have you performed a pre-launch check? Pins, shackles, shrouds, lines, rudders, centreboards, masts, mast steps, mast seals, centreboard wells, buoyancy compartment(s), b**g plugs, and hatch covers should all be checked before every launch.

🥶 Be Cold Water Safe – Even in 20°C water the body will lose more heat than it can generate leading to hypothermia. Being properly dressed for immersion in local waters is a key strategy for comfort and enjoyment let alone survival.

For more information on safe boating practices here in English Bay feel free to sign up for our English Bay Safety Seminar. It’s free for everyone. Our next one will be in person on June 1 at 1900H. RSVP at the Jericho office 604.224.4177 or [email protected]
