SAFETY-1
BOATING SAFETY
Silverton believes your safety aboard your
yacht, whether cruising or moored at your
dock, is extremely important. A yacht op-
erated in a safe manner will provide you,
your passengers and other boaters many
pleasurable hours of cruising and peace of
mind. This section discusses the potential
hazards that may be associated with boating
for your awareness so they may be avoided,
if possible. Be certain to read and have a
thorough understanding of this section.
Silverton recommends completing a safe
boating course if you are new to boating.
Even if you are an experienced boater, you
should consider enrolling in one of these
courses as they will provide you with updat-
ed information that will prove to be valuable
and enhance your cruising pleasure. Your
local United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
and United States Power Squadrons offer
comprehensive safe boating classes several
times a year. You may contact them for a
course schedule in your area or the Boat/
U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-BOAT, or in
Virginia, at 1-800-245-BOAT.

Federal Law requires you pro-

pliance with all requirements concerning
