Boater Safety Course
FREE BOATING SAFETY CLASSES
Sheriff Mike Raines announces free Boating Safety Classes. The Eaton County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting these classes Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings on the following dates:
Free classes are closed for the 2008 boating season.
You may still take the class online (Online Boating Safety Study Guide) and report to the Sheriff's Office in Charlotte or at the Delta Substation to take the final test.
This is a course for all boaters, the personal watercraft operator; the hunter or fisherman operating an outboard utility boat; the skipper of a family ski boat; the sailing enthusiast. All boaters must follow the same nautical rules, regulations and courtesies of the water. All are subject to the same forces of nature while boating.
As boating is often a family activity, the course is of value to all members of a boating family.
Qualified, enthusiastic and experienced instructors provide instruction as a public service. There is never a charge for instruction. While the content of the student manual serves as the basis for this course, it will also serve as a reference book in basic boating long after the course work is completed. The course meets the educational standards of NASBLA, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, and features a final examination as required by Michigan Law.
To be eligible, students must be at least 12 years of age anytime during the boating season. Please call Jerri Nesbitt at 543-5257, or 372-8217, ext 5257 to register.
