How do you know your boat is ready for a safe summer boating season and complies with new U.S. Coast Guard regulations? A no-cost, no-penalty vessel safety check from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Power Squadrons/America’s Boating Club can help. Scheduled inspections are often offered at launch ramps, marinas and boat clubs, or appointments can be made for a vessel examiner to come to your boat. Go to cgaux.org/vsc to learn more.

Have you ever tried to work out what the weather forecast means for your boat? Have you ever been caught unexpectedly in dangerous conditions on open waters? Trying to work this out isn’t easy! That’s why Deckee has built the Open Water Risk Forecast. It takes into account a variety of weather data factors and combines it with your boat length to assess the risk and make your decision to go boating easier. Conditions can vary dramatically on open waters, and a couple of feet in boat length can be the difference between a smooth or dangerous journey. Simply adjust your watercraft length (it’s easy to switch between metres and feet) and DECKEE will show you a personalised Risk Forecast for any open waters location. Click the title to try it out!
