Have you recently decided on purchasing a boat, or do you want to brush up on the safety precautions of boating? Come join Clarksville Parks and Recreation and the Coast Guard Auxiliary Unit in the new boating safety class. This class is good for all types of boats, motorized and non-motorized, and open to ages 12 and up.
Topics such as the importance of wearing life jackets, safe boating practices, the right boat for you, the correct use of a VHF Radio, lines and knots, weather, and more will be covered.
The course will end with an exam, and upon passing the exam participants will be issued a wallet boating safety education certificate, as proof of successful completion. Before arriving to class, be sure to purchase a Type 600 Boating Safety Exam Permit from any business that sells hunting/fishing licenses. This receipt will be your ticket to take the exam.
