Good Advice that You Can Share

Here’s a “no cost” opportunity for your marine business to offer valuable boating safety information and reminders, every week throughout the summer, as a benefit for your customers and your website visitors.

CanBoat, formerly called the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons, is providing you an ongoing series of boating safety and operating information articles through Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest. You can use these articles in your business and there’s no cost for doing it. Just copy out the article from this newsletter and present it on your website, or in your customer communications. This costs you nothing, and it is valuable public service information that you can take advantage of in a matter of seconds.

This week’s topic asks the question “Is Your Boat Ready for the Season?“ Especially in the early season with cold water and as people are just getting back into boating after a long winter, these are important and excellent reminders of the equipment required. This list reminds your customers, (and their customers) of what is required and what they all need to be compliant with Government Boating Safety requirements. This helps them to be ready should an emergency happen.

As a professional in the marine industry, test yourself by reading the article, “Is Your Boat Ready for the Season?“

I bet you will have forgotten at least one or two things. It’s just human nature.

CanBoat is Canada’s leading boating education and safety organization with a very long history of offering boating education on a complete range of boating topics. From Pleasure Craft Operator Card courses and issuance to topics like advanced navigation, marine VHF radio licensing and training, and far more, CanBoat is there to enable Canadian boaters to safely go places and do things in confidence.

All articles are free for use to promote boating and water safety. Credit must be provided to CanBoat / NautiSavoir and author John Gullick.

Watch for more valuable topics from CanBoat coming in Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest every week.

Good Advice that You Can Share – The Art of Anchoring  

Unless a boat is secured, it will drift away. If it cannot be attached to something secure, such as a dock, piling, mooring buoy, tree, or boulder, it must be anchored. There is much more to anchoring than simply tossing the anchor over the side. 
 
An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
