Did you know???

• Everyone born after January 1, 1989 must complete a certified boating safety education class to operate any motorized boat in Wisconsin.
•  
• When boating on the Great Lakes, children age 13 and under must wear a PFD (life jacket) while above decks whenever the boat is underway (that includes drifting).
• 
  
• You don't have to carry currently dated flares while boating on Lake Winnebago.  Federal law only requires them on the Great Lakes, but don't throw away your expired flares.  If kept in good, serviceable condition, they are great to have as extras in an emergency.
• 
  
• You can potentially receive a 10-15% discount on your boat insurance just for completing one of our classes!

There's even more.  Would you like to find out?

Watch a nationally broadcasted episode of Into the Outdoors: Advanced Boating Technology produced in the fall of 2022 that features several of our local Auxiliarists. 

It's very informative and highlights the real "life saving" value of a good boating education.
