Highfield Boats Launches Largest Aluminum-Hulled RIB to Date – the All-New Sport 900
A
tlanta, Georgia – November 23, 2021 – Highfield Boats, the world’s leading manufacturer of aluminum rigid inflatable boats (RIBS) and tenders, has pushed the technology and luxury of its RIB range to its furthest limits yet with the launch of the all-new Sport 900. The Sport 900 is a true offshore milecrunching cruiser, capable of 60-mph performance and amazing seakeeping abilities, while providing all the luxuries demanded of a high-end day boat or tender. Its all-weather hull design and long-range capability is designed to allow owners to spend the maximum amount of time out on the water. At 29’ 11” (9.12 meters) in length, Highfield’s Sport 900 now tops the company’s Sport range of leisure boats, ahead of the Sport 800, launched last year, and the Patrol 860 in Highfield’s rugged commercial RIB range. Tom Watson, general manager of Highfield Boats USA, said: “In the past five years, we have seen the market for larger offshore-capable RIBS grow as superyachts continue to get larger,
outboard-powered day boats soared in popularity, and customer demands have continued to evolve. That is why Highfield keeps pushing the boundaries of its highend RIB offerings.” The SP900 has a hull deadrise angle of 26 degrees in order to provide comfort and performance in rough sea conditions. Like all the RIBs in the Highfield Sport range, which starts at 9’ 8”, the new Sport 900 model is easy to tow, launch and recover due to its light weight and integrated davit lifting eyes. The Sport 900 is built to be tough and will not delaminate or absorb water over time, so it will retain the same agile performance in 10 years’ time as on its first day afloat. The Sport 900 features EVA teak throughout, integrated fuel tanks, upscale diamond-stitched upholstery and a swim platform, so each day on board will be enjoyed to the maximum. Luxury touches also include a Vitrifrigo refrigerator, sunbrella top, kitchenette and shower kit. The onboard gathering spaces are further enhanced by the integrated rear seat with cushion, bow and stern sundeck, and rear table.
Highfield Boats worked with the world’s highest-quality component providers to create a superior list of standard features on board the Sport 900. Its tubes are formed from ORCA® Hypalon, and the hull is of constructed of high-tensile chromated and powder-coated aluminum with flush-mount non-return valves and a self-draining deck. Thanks to Highfield’s
aluminum hull, there is no need to worry about gelcoat chips when putting the boat on a beach or trailer. The new Highfield Sport 900 will debut in the U.S. market in the fall of 2022. For more information about Highfield Boats, please visit highfieldnorthamerica.com

A Holiday Boating Safety Gear Buyers Guide for Geeks Innovations That Increase Safety Aboard
A
NNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 12, 2021 – Bulky, square orange life vests have given way to more comfortable belt- or harness-style inflatable floatation devices, yet many recreational boaters still carry only the former aboard. Are boaters up-to-date on today’s newest technologyinspired boating safety gear? With the holidays around the corner, the nonprofit BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water offers a buying guide for technology geeks and anyone interested in innovation that increases safety aboard a boat. Handheld DSC-VHF Radio: Today’s portable, floating handheld VHF radios can be used anywhere aboard your boat, and are a great communications-navigation solution for small boats as well as a backup for larger vessels. Newest handhelds can incorporate GPS, Digital Selective Calling (DSC), one-button distress, Bluetooth, an FM receiver, and even SOS blinking lights giving boaters more ways than ever to keep out of trouble or speed a rescue. Models start at $200. Before you use your DSC-VHF radio, be sure to get your radio’s Maritime Mobile Service Identity Number (MMSI) that is your vessel’s unique ID. BoatUS members may request one for free. Tip: Adhere this number along with the owner’s contact information to the radio – it will help with future registration changes.
www.abelsmarine.com
Personal Locator Beacon (PLB): Just a little bigger than a Tic Tac breath mint container, today’s PLBs can be carried in a shirt or life vest pocket, or easily attached to clothing or outerwear. Costs have also come down, with prices starting at a little over $100. Some organized boating events such as sailboat races increasingly require PLB wear, but if you don’t want to purchase them for your entire crew the BoatUS Foundation rents PLBs for as little as $7 a day.
Inflatable Life Jacket: Today’s smallest inflatable life jackets, worn belt-style across the waist, are incredibly not much larger than a box of mac and cheese. However, while they do provide for U.S. Coast Guard life jacket wear requirements, manually activated (yank the cord) inflatables need to be donned while in the water and are not intended for the unconscious. For that, harness-style inflatables can be utilized in automatic mode, which will keep the victim’s head above the water. Belt-style life jackets generally start at under $100, while harness-styles start around $150. At about $200, hybrid life jackets also offer a mix of inflation and foam floatation, keeping them smaller yet allowing for comfort and a full range of movement. Throwable Life Saving Device: Technology has even come to the basic throwable device, a U.S. Coast Guard-required safety item meant to be kept within arm’s reach while underway. The most common is a floating seat cushion. However, the newest throwable devices are much smaller, simple to stow and touted as easier to toss to a crewmate in the water. Once the device hits the water, a rescue yellow raft automatically inflates offering a minimum of 20 pounds of floatation. One caveat: Like inflatable life jackets, they require an annual inspection. Prices start around $150.

Yamaha’s Harmo makes U.S. debut
Y
amaha Marine introduced its HARMO electric outboard system to the U.S. market during the 2021 International Boatbuilders Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in Tampa, Florida. Coupling a 48-volt power supply with a high-yield, low-drag 3.7-kilowatt motor, HARMO’s rim-drive electric motor and specially encased impeller provide an incredible 225 pounds of static thrust - the equivalent of a conventional 9.9-horsepower gas-powered motor. Run times depend on battery type, size, configuration and operational parameters. While rim drive motors have been deployed for thrusters and other marine applications, this is the first application in an outboard motor. “HARMO is the perfect system for horsepower or internal-combustion restricted waterways. Ultimately, it is up
to our boat builder customers to decide how to integrate it into their boats, and we are eager to see the result,” said Ben Speciale, president, Yamaha Marine U.S. Business Unit. The system includes Helm Master EX system controls (including the joystick) for simple, intuitive operation in a clean, quiet system. HARMO also features integrated Digital Electric Steering (DES), and a 140-degree total steering angle, combining strong, smooth acceleration with incredibly sharp handling and control. The control system can rotate a single-engine boat within its length and allows for true lateral operation in twin configuration. Additionally, its extreme 74-degree tilt angle helps keeps the impeller clear of the water when not in use. The motor offers virtually silent operation, quick response, crisp and
dramatic maneuvering, and easy-to-understand and operate controls. Available in single or twin configurations, the HARMO motor unit weighs 121 pounds and the system can effectively maneuver boats up to 32 feet in most conditions. The latest product to emerge from Yamaha’s CommandBlue engineering and design philosophy, HARMO combines advanced propulsion technology, environmental awareness, future vision and proven joystick control to provide high thrust and maneuverability Yamaha’s CommandBlue philosophy drives the design and development of new, connected technologies and technology-based products from the consumer’s perspective, specifically to simplify boating and instill deep
feelings of confidence, satisfaction, and excitement while on the water. Deriving its name from the harmony that exists between a vessel, its propulsion system, its passengers and the environment, HARMO is available through boat builders only and in European markets now. U.S. availability is expected within 18 months. Article courtesy of boatingindustry.com

6 Best Holiday Destinations for Boating: U.S. Edition
W
e often associate boating with spring and summer activities, however, the fall and winter offer great onthe-water experiences, too. What’s more, with less than 100 days to go before Santa Claus shimmies down your mast, you have some great opportunities to plan boating activities for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and any other winter holidays you may be celebrating. Here are six of the best holiday destinations for boating in the United States, ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers! 1. New York City, NY The air is crisp in the city in November, but the sun is warm enough to spend on the water. Definitely tie up in time to catch a taxi to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, as well as the Thanksgiving Eve balloon blow-up. The balloons inflate along 77th and 81st Streets between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, adjacent to the Museum of Natural History. The 95th anniversary of the world’s longest parade heads down through the streets the following morning.
2. Plymouth, MA Plymouth is, of course, where the famous Mayflower landed and therefore the site of the first Thanksgiving. While every year it celebrates with festivities along the waterfront, this year marks the 400th anniversary. Climb onboard a replica of the Mayflower, enjoy beer and wine tasting, watch a parade, and more, all from November 19 to 21. You can anchor out in Plymouth Harbor or dock at a number of marinas. 3. Fort Lauderdale, FL Forget decking out your home with holiday lights— dress up your decks and enter Fort Lauderdale’s annual WinterFest Boat Parade. Held just prior to Christmas, this tradition dates back to 1970. Boats of all shapes and sizes float down the New River and north on the Intracoastal. One million spectators
line the shores, too—and viewing is free. Either way, it’s definitely, as the organizers say, 12 miles of the best show on H2O. 4. Newport Beach, CA Yet another famous boat parade takes place on Newport Harbor each year. In fact, it’s celebrating 113 years. Everything from canoes and kayaks to large private yachts will be decorated for the parade, held each night from December 15 to 19. Fireworks accompany the first and last nights, too. Participating also enters you into an awards competition. They include Best Music, Best Use of Lights, Best Animation/Special Effects, and Best Humor & Originality. 5. Houston, TX The famous Kemah Boardwalk hosts family-friendly
fun and fireworks over Galveston Bay for New Year’s Eve. The fireworks go off at 10 p.m., so your little ones won’t be too tired—and child-free couples can stay awake longer to ring in the New Year. The Kemah Boardwalk Marina is conveniently a few minutes’ walk away, too. 6. The Florida Keys Several islands throughout the chain host fireworks and other fun (be sure to read our Florida Keys Boating Guide before you go). These include the dive capital of Key Largo at the top, the sportfishing hotspot of Islamorada in the middle, and the wild and wacky Key West to the south. Beach parties, live music, a giant Red Shoe Drop… you name it, you can see and experience it. Given the 1,700 islands making up the Keys, you’d be hard pressed to not find a slip or anchorage.

Captain’sCorner
www.TheMariner.com
with Captain Sergio Atanes What Christmas Is All About Christmas has many meanings for each one of us: family time with our relatives; the kids are home from college; a good time to bond with old friends. Christmas is also a time to thank GOD for our health, family and giving us such a great country. We live in with freedom to choose when, where and what to do. Cuban by birth but American by choice I know what FREEDOM MEANS and Christmas has a very special meaning to me and my family. Christmas for me has many fond memories of my youth, my uncle may he rest in peace started taking me fishing at the age of four and was my mentor on what was to be the journey and adventure into fishing. He loved his fishing and making cast nets. My first Christmas with him he made me a 5-foot mullet net, I was so proud to be the only kid in the Ybor City neighborhood to own one so yes Christmas is a beautiful time to be alive and with our families. Now having said all of this let’s talk fishing, December brings many surprises to anglers of Tampa Bay, and it all depends on the weather. If it’s a warm month, we can count on large schools of redfish around the many mangrove islands and trout on the shallow flats. A warm month can keep many species such as mackerel and cobia in our bay waters which
are usually gone by mid-November. A cold December is all a different story. Look for redfish around deep water docks using live shrimp with a 1/0 circle hook and a small split shot about 6 inches from the hook, as this keeps the bait close to the bottom where the water is warmer, and the fish are most active. Flounder is another species you can count on around docks this time of year. For them I prefer using a small jig head with a small live shrimp hooked through the tail (not the head) and dragged along the bottom. Cast the jig towards the shoreline parallel to the dock and bounce it along the bottom until you reach the front of the dock. Continue this method on both sides of the dock going from one dock to another, as this allows you to cover the entire area around a dock where the flounder are waiting on their prey. Snook would have made their way up the rivers and creeks looking for warmer water. Remember that snook slow down on their bite this time of year, so cut bait works great on the bottom. Live medium shrimp with the tail cut off is another great bait to use. I prefer once again to use a small split shot to keep the bait on the bottom and in many cases I will work the shrimp along the edges of
with Captain Rick Grassett You may find reds along with big trout concentrated in potholes, along the edges of bars or tailing on shallow grass flats on negative low tides this month. This is a good month for catch and release snook action around lighted docks in the ICW. Some lights will also have trout and reds making it possible to get a dock “slam”. There may also be good action in the coastal gulf with false albacore (little tunny), Spanish mackerel and tripletail, depending on conditions.
You might find reds in potholes or along the edges of flats and bars on negative low tides. They may also tail on shallow grass when the tide is low. Weedless rigged CAL shad tails and 4” jerk worms, DOA Shrimp and lightly weighted flies with weed guards will work well in that situation. As the tide rises, reds will spread out and feed on shallow flats. You may also find them around docks this month. I usually let the stage of the tide tell me where to look for reds.
Snook and reds remain closed to harvest south of State Rd 64 in Manatee County on the west coast of Florida, south to the south bank of Gordon Pass in Collier County. Reds and snook are catch and release only in that zone until May 31, 2022. Spotted Seatrout has reopened in that zone with a 3 fish per person, bag limit and a 6 fish boat limit. Trout must be from 15”-19” with one allowed per vessel over 19”. Full regulations and details can be viewed at https://myfwc.com/ .
You may also find big trout in skinny water this month in many of the same areas where you find reds. The same lures and techniques that I use for reds will also work for trout in the same areas. You should also find trout on deep grass flats this month along with blues, flounder or pompano. Blues may sometimes feed on the surface, so bird activity may give their presence away. Pompano may skip when you drift or run past them and when that happens, circle back upwind and drift through the area casting ahead of your drift. Flounder prefer a mix of sand and grass, particularly in potholes or on the edges of bars. I like to drift and cast ahead of my drift with CAL jigs and a variety of plastic tails or DOA Deadly Combos. Fly anglers should score with sink tip fly lines and weighted flies, like Clousers or my Grassett Deep Flats Bunny fly, which behaves like a jig with a shad tail. I like to fish shallow flats for reds and snook and deep grass flats that are close to passes, on points and along sand bars for trout, blues, flounder and pompano in December.
However, catch and release snook fishing around lighted docks can be good this month unless it gets too cool. I won’t target snook following a strong cold front or if the water dips below 60 degrees, since they may be stressed at that time. However, it can be very good in December under normal conditions. Larger baitfish will thin out and snook will gorge themselves on glass minnows and small shrimp in the ICW at night. I like docks that have a good tidal flow and deep water under them. CAL jigs with shad tails and jerk worms, DOA Tiny TerrorEyz and DOA Shrimp are my favorite lures for snook at night. Fly anglers should do well with sink tip fly lines and small white flies. Fish peak tidal flows for the fastest action.

There should still be some action in the coastal gulf with Spanish mackerel, blues, false albacore
THE Florida MARINER #947 / 5 December 2021
West Central Florida Southwest Coast the river or creek bed where the snook are most likely to be waiting for food. Warm water outflow from the different power plants will be another heaven for snook, cobia, trout, pompano, and sharks. The best time to fish the outflow is just before sunrise to about 11 am. As the sun gets higher in the sky the fish tend to move to the mouth of the hot water outflow, so I suggest you start as close as you can to the outflow and work your way through the channel as the sun rises. The cold water means clear water, so you will need to drop down on the size of your leader and tackle to help increase the bite. I notice in cold water months I have to downsize my leader in some cases to 15 pounds in order to get the fish to bite. I would start with 25-pound test fluorocarbon leader and work down from there until you find what’s working for you. The lighter leader means you must take a little more time in fighting the fish but the increase on the number of bites is well worth it. Sheepshead will be making their entry into Tampa Bay to spawn as the water temperature drops, and this I will cover on next month’s issue. Good fishing and tight lines.
West Central Florida Capt. Sergio Atanes Tampa Bay Fishing Charters 813-973-7132 www.reelfishy.com
Southwest Florida and tripletail. Rough or cold water later in the month may slow the action and move fish south or offshore. Look for terns either diving or hovering low over the surface of the water to find albies, blues and mackerel feeding on the surface. Once you’ve found them, cast top water plugs or CAL jigs with shad tails to catch them. Fly anglers should score with glass minnow fly patterns, poppers or Crease flies. Sometimes top water plugs or fly poppers will draw fish to the surface, especially over structure. You’ll need to add wire or heavy fluorocarbon to your leader when blues and mackerel are around. Look for tripletail around crab trap floats or channel markers. Once you’ve located a fish, work back into the wind or current with an electric trolling motor to get into casting range and cast a DOA shrimp, a weedless-rigged CAL shad tail or lightly weighted fly with a weed guard to them. Try to make your first shot count since they are much tougher to catch once they know you’re there. There will be lots of options in December, although weather becomes more of a factor. When fishing flats, I usually let conditions and the stage of the tide determine when, where and what I will target. I like to fish the coastal gulf for false albacore and tripletail whenever conditions are good. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by agricultural, industrial and residential runoff, toxic spills and discharges, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

Like November, December and January are months filled with outstanding fishing opportunities. The only significant difference is the impact cooler water temperatures have on the fishery and windy conditions, which are influenced by approaching and passing cold fronts. Fluctuations in water temperatures affect both fish behavior and angling tactics, so an understanding of where and how to fish can reward you with some memorable catches.
the bottom in deeper water just outside the buoy line along the channel ledges and look for concentrations of Atlantic menhaden (pogies) and muddy water spots in the 15 to 30 feet of depth. These breeder size redfish will hit artificial baits, but live croakers, pinfish, pigfish, pogies and finger mullet are more productive. Remember, these are large breeder size redfish, so please step up the size of your tackle and handle and release them quickly and with extreme care.
American Shad and Speckled Perch (Black Crappie) - Water levels are much lower this season on St Johns River system and good numbers of speckled perch (black crappie) are showing up in the upper St Johns River and the big lakes of Monroe, Jessup and Harney. Fish structure or slow troll Road Runner jigs or live minnows near the bottom. Also, look for the American shad to begin showing up near the end of December on their winter spawning run. The American shad is an incredible species to catch on light tackle and fly, and if you have never experienced this fishery, you should give it a shot. American Shad fishing is as close as Floridian’s get to the salmon runs of the north and we are catching them during the winter when the northern rives are frozen.
Snook - Snook fishing will remain steady in the surf and inlets, with Sebastian Inlet proving to be the most productive location. It is best to target inlet snook at night by drifting live pigfish and pinfish through the channel, or fishing bucktail jigs or large swimming plugs from the rocks and catwalks. This type of fishing can be quite challenging due to the number of anglers competing for the same fish and impatient and discourteous anglers, so please pay attention, be courteous, stay safe and enjoy the rewards. In areas north of Sebastian, the snook will move into protected backwater areas like creeks and deeper mud bottom canals to stay warm.
Ocean and Inlet Redfish - Nearshore and in the inlets, large redfish were consistent outside Ponce Inlet, Port Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet last month, and they should remain steady. At both Ponce and Sebastian, look for redfish chasing bait on the surface during periods of slack tide, or feeding along the bottom during periods of falling tidal flow. At Port Canaveral, work
Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel - Large schools of bluefish and Spanish mackerel have been feeding on glass minnows (bay anchovies) along the beaches and outside the Inlets. When targeting these fish watch for bird activity and work small jigs or spoons very fast to avoid cut offs. These two species will attack a fast-moving lure chasing it from behind, thus missing the leader with their very sharp teeth if your lure is moving fast. A small trace of wire can be added ahead of your bait to reduce cut offs, but in some cases the keen vision of the toothy mackerel
with Captain Chris Johnson About the month of December, to quote National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, “Clark, that’s the gift that keeps on giving.” There’s an abundance of fine fishing to choose from, which is why December is my Number Two favorite time of year to fish in the Florida Keys. Number One is the month of May. Come back and read our May article to find out why. As the waters to the north chill, wintertime fish visitors crowd the reefs, wrecks and bayside. And there’s something for everyone. Sailfish probably tops most people’s list as the fish to target. The key to catching sailfish is live bait, and the primary live bait to use is ballyhoo. Start your day of sailfish fishing by catching your ballyhoo first thing in the morning on the patch reefs and shallow grassy areas. To get the ‘hoo to the boat, chum the waters with Bionic double-ground. Catch them by using hair hooks, small bits of shrimp and squid or by throwing a cast net on them. Take great care when boating the ballyhoo. Try not to touch them too much between catching them and placing them in the live well. The most effective baits are those that have suffered the least amount of damage. Once you’re loaded up with ballyhoo, head out to the deep edge of the reef in 100 to 130 feet of water or wherever you find a good, clean water break. Stagger the baits out behind the boat and drift parallel to the reef, waiting for the sailfish to find the ballyhoo. If your ballyhoo jumps
can reduce the number of strikes. Also, if you see pelicans diving on bait and then holding their bills down in the water in an effort to strain the water from the smaller baitfish before swallowing, you are in the right spot. Flounder - The Flounder run is on with good catches being reported from both Port Canaveral and Sebastian. Anglers utilizing jigs, live finger mullet or mud minnows fished on the bottom are experiencing the best results. My favorite technique is to slow drift the Inlet passes; bouncing DOA jigs combined with a 3” DOA CAL Shad Tail on the bottom. This tactic allows you to cover more ground, and once you have located a hot spot, you can anchor your boat and concentrate on the area. If you anchor and there is a lot of current, use a heaver jig and make your cast up current and bounce your jig off of the bottom as it drifts back. Flounder season opens December 1st. Kingfish - Further off of the beach kingfish can be found shadowing bait pods outside the Inlets. Either slow troll live baits on steel stinger rigs, or try dropping live baits into schools of bait in deeper water. This bite should continue as long as water temperatures remain above 74 degrees. As we progress into winter, the kingfish will move out to the nearshore reefs where the water temperatures are warmer. For the full report, visit: https://www.irlfishing.com/blog/2021-11-27-7164/

out of the water, get ready for the sailfish bite. When sailfish fishing, the SeaSquared crews use 20lb spinning gear with 40lb fluorocarbon leaders and 20lb main test line with a 6/0 Owner SSW Inline Circle Hook. While waiting for the sailfish, quite often you’ll get bites from other wintertime visitors, such as blackfin tuna and dolphin,plus toothy critters that include king mackerel and wahoo. For the toothy ones, include a short trace of #6 wire to prevent breakoffs. The main reef line is where you’ll find the best yellowtail and mutton snapper action. The 40- to 60-foot depths are typically a good starting point. This area should be alive with yellowtail snappers along with the reemergence of nice black groupers, mutton snappers and even some cobias. Establish a quality chum slick and let the fish come to you. The yellowtails are best caught using small pieces of ballyhoo or shrimp. For the muttons and groupers, use heavier conventional tackle with live baits, such as pilchards, ballyhoo or pinfish. The patch reefs come into their own this time of year, with lots of action on mangrove snappers, keeper size yellowtails and red groupers. The same tactics employed for yellowtails on the reef work here, but you’re fishing in much shallower water at 20 to 25 feet. Hawk Channel also gets active during December. You’ll find everything from snappers and groupers to cero, king and Spanish mackerel, porgies and, again, the occasional cobia. Live shrimp
fished on a jighead on or near the bottom coral humps and bumps should produce instant action. This is great fishing for kids or anyone looking for lots of action with excellent table fare as a bonus. Not to be overlooked are the Florida Bay and Gulf of Mexico areas. As these waters cool, king and Spanish mackerel, African and Florida pompano and cobia join the snappers that are prevalent in these venues. Live bait is key for the king mackerel and cobia. These bayside kings are typically less fussy than the ones on the Atlantic and will happily eat pinfish as will the cobia. Just remember to use a trace of #6 wire to prevent bite-offs from the kingfish. The pompano, snappers and Spanish mackerel will all readily eat live shrimp. While fishing for these, you’ll also find plenty of bluefish and jack crevalle. For those interested in bigger fish on light tackle, sharks await you en masse. Blacktips, spinners, bulls, black noses and the occasional lemon all respond well to chunks of jack crevalles, bluefish, bluerunners. Sharks are great fun on light spin or conventional tackle. We like to use 9/0 Owner SSW Inline Circle Hooks to prevent harming the sharks so they can be released for someone else to enjoy. The gift that keeps on giving. The SeaSquared crew wishes you and yours a joyous holiday season filled with family, friends and some great fishing!

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2021 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org. BUSY, CLASSES DON’T FIT YOUR TIMETABLE?

COAST GUARD AUXILIARY OFFERS VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS AND SAFE BOATING CLASSES - A Vessel Safety Check is a complimentary check of your boat conducted by members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state requirements for safety. No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutuallyconvenient time. It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker.

With the advent of COVID-19, the Coast Guard Auxiliary was advised to discontinue in-person classes for the safety of the instructors and students. The good news is that the State of Florida (FWC) and the National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) have approved the Coast Guard Auxiliary to conduct online classes. These classes are not your standard webinar sessions where the students sit at their computers and are lectured at. And they’re not animated cartoon sessions where you have to keep pressing enter to get to the next topic. The Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary is
offering outstanding “Virtual Boat America” course options: December 18th & 19th. All classes are from 9am to 2pm. Classes are $40 per student and include the books, supplemental materials and course completion certificates. The classes being offered by the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary are conducted on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. In addition, because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! The boating safety class is also a requirement for many boaters in Florida. In the Sunshine State, anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988, must successfully complete a boater safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to operate any boat powered by more than 10 horsepower, and they are required to carry their boater education card with them when out on the water along with picture ID. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www.clwboatingsafety. com or by email at clwtr.auxboating@gmail. com or call 727-469-8895.

SARASOTA FLOTILLA 82 OF THE USCG AUXILIARY Florida law requires that any person born on or after Jan. 1, 1988, may not operate a vessel powered by a motor of 10 horsepower or greater unless such person has in his or her possession, aboard the vessel, photographic identification, a Florida boater safety identification card (or any other state’s boating card), and the registration for their vessel.
