B12- The Terrace Slandard, Wednesday, May 31, 2000 Terrace Pool offers course on boating safety IF YOU’RE going to operate a boat with a motor this sum- mer, get ready. The rules are changing. Starting September 15, 2002, all operators running a boat less than four metres long will be required lo prove three things: That they've taken a boat safety course and have earned their new Pleasure Craft “Operator Card, through an accredited training course, Seven years later, on September 15, 2009 all boat opera- tors will need the card to cruise the water. So what are you waiting for? Getting the card is easy. All you have to do is take a course at the Terrace Aquatic Centre, where local lifeguard Janet Watson teaches a Boat Operator Accredited Training (B. O.A.T.) Course; for en- thusiasts with all kinds of experience. Boaters with less than 10 years of experience should lake an eight-hour course teaching all the needed naviga- tion regulations, basic boating rules, emergency responses, and basic pleasure craft know-how. At the end of the course, everyone takes an exam and, hopefully, earns their lifetime operator card. Those with more than 10 years of boating experience can probably get by with a four-hour refresher course, to update you on the most recent regulations, before you take the exam. And, if you really think you’re a pro, head ta the pool, pick up a study guide and. write the exam. But be warned, you need to get at least 75 per cent on the test to get the card! The courses run June 12 and 19 from6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Terrace pool. Call the pool for more infor- mation. Pre-departure checklist KNOW your boat.
