New Boating Safety Regulations Announced Following extensive consultations, Canadian Coast Guard recently released new boating safety regulations. The new regulations resulted from approximately 4 years of consultations with the public, boating associations, manufacturers, cottagers, coroners, enforcement agencies and other stakeholders, and which proceeded along two tracks: one dealt with operator competency and age and horsepower restrictions; the other addressed Small Vessel Regulation amendments. [See OPHA's response to the call for input , submitted in Aug. 1998.] The new regulations include the following changes: minimum age limits for operating power boats above 10 Horsepower and personal watercraft; mandatory operator competency requirements (phased in over 10 years) for operators of recreational power boats; minimum safety equipment and operation standards for all boats. The Small Vessel Regulations were expanded to include a "careless operation" offence which will allow enforcement agencies to issue tickets to reckless boaters who put themselves and others at risk.

These appear to have been developed with extensive public input and will undoubtedly improve the safety of Canada's waterways and of recreational boaters and their families. In response to your recent call for comments, OPHA would like to offer two suggestions: That the CCG-Accredited Courses and Tests and Rental Boat Safety Checklist (Proposed Regulatory Text, Sections 7, 8 and 9) explicitly include information related to the impact of alcohol and other drugs on water and boater safety. In particular the following issues should be covered: a) impact of alcohol and other substances on operator and passenger perception, judgement, skill and risk of injury and death; b) laws related to alcohol and recreational watercraft use; c) alcohol-related liability and the responsibilities of boaters, rentors and marinas; and d) tools and strategies for preventing injuries and reducing liability.

Safety Canada Online Hot Issues Awards Campaigns ... New Boating Safety Regulations New Boating Safety Regulations Expected to Save Lives New regulations are being introduced this year to reduce boating fatalities in Canada from their present level of 200 annually. Currently in Canada, anyone of any age can operate any boat of any size without any formal training or experiences. In fact, two-thirds of those operating powered boats in Canada lack any formal training in boating safety or operation. With more and more boaters taking to the waterways in new, and increasingly powerful vessels, the status quo could be a recipe for disaster. Age and Horsepower Restrictions Effective April 1, 1999, children under the age of 12 will no longer be permitted to operate boats above 10 horsepower for recreational purposes unless accompanied by a person 16 years of age or older. On the same date, youth at least 12 years of age, but under 16 years of age, will no longer be permitted to operate boats above 40 horsepower unless accompanied by an individual 16 years of age or older. Finally, as of April 1, 1999, the new minimum age for operating Personal Water Craft (PWC) will be 16 years of age. Operator Competency Beginning on September 15, 1999 youth under 16 years of age (as of April 1, 1999) operating powered craft used for recreational purposes will be required to have proof of operator competency. This requirement will be extended to all operators of power boats less than four metres in length, as well as all PWCs. By September 15, 2009, proof of operator competency will be required for all power boat operators.

Boating Rules Your location: Rideau Region Rideau Waterway Home Boating Information Site Index Boating Rules and Regulations As a boater, you have to follow a set of rules and regulations that are designed to protect you, other boaters, and wildlife habitat of the region. The rules are not onerous, most involve common sense, and responsible boaters have no trouble abiding by them. It is worth noting that Ontario has on-the-spot ticketing and fines for boaters contravening regulations issued under the Canada Shipping Act and the Department of Transport Act (which includes the Historic Canals Regulations). This makes it much easier for the police to enforce the on-water rules and makes it safer for all boaters. Fines are not cheap, many are in the the $200+ range for offences such as not carrying enough PFDs, speeding, and failure to turn off electrical equipment while refuelling. Boating Regulations Operators Card: All boaters operating a powered craft less than 4 metres in length (this includes all PWCs) and all boaters born after April 1, 1983 (operating a powered vessel of any type - see age restrictions below) must have and carry a Pleasure Craft Operators Card. By 2009, everyone operating a powered vessel will require a Pleasure Craft Operators Card. The only exception are American boaters in Canada for less than 45 days. For info see

These regulations were established through individual ordinances passed by the Metropolitan King County Council. To establish a boating regulation on a lake not listed in the chart requires the support of your Councilmember who would foster the legislative process for establishing specific regulations at your lake.

According to your recent Courtesy Marine Exam, you are carrying all required and recommended equipment. But, do you know what else marine officers are likely to check? Numbering and Registration Just as you wouldn't drive your car without a license plate, current sticker, and registration, your boat must be properly numbered, stickered, and your registration on board. Boat numbers must be affixed on both bows with three inch contrasting letters, with spaces or hyphens between numerals and letters, as: MD 1234 AB or MD-1234-AB. This is a Federal and State requirement. Also, the State requires a current sticker immediately after or before the boat numbers on the port side. Many boaters like to carry their boat papers on a floating key ring handle so they will always have them close at hand. (Click on state numbering thumbnail for better view) Your vessel will also have (if manufactured since 1972) a Hull Identification Number which is the serial number of your vessel. This number is usually located on the upper right portion of the vessels' transom. This number indicates the boat manufacturer, its serial number, and the month and year of production. This number is used to register the boat, and to identify an individual boat.

Missing Kids BOATING SAFETY EDUCATION The Ocean Shores Police Department conducts boating safety education classes for elementary school students. Teenage and adult classes are also available, as are presentations to groups. These classes are taught by the Boating Education Officer from the Marine Patrol Unit. The course covers much of the information that is found in the Washington Boater's Guide, Rules, Regulations and Safety Afloat. Areas of unique concerns that are specifically addressed are proper use of personal floatation devices, required safety equipment, hypothermia and safety in small vessels. The fourth grade students who attend the class will come away with a better understanding of the responsibilities of boat ownership and handling as well as the necessity and use of floatation devices and safety equipment. Hopefully, this will be the start of boating safety education that will continue into adulthood. If you would like a general presentation or one on a specific topic made for your group, please contact Lt. Mike Styner of the Marine Patrol Unit at the police department.
