BOATING REGULATIONS LINK TO REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT BOAT NUMBERING According to state law, boat identification numbers comprise the letters "SD" followed by a group of three numbers, which are then followed by two letters. The owner must permanently and securely display the numbers on each side of the forward part of the motorboat so that the numbers are clearly visible and readable at a distance of 100 feet on a clear day, without the aid of a magnifying device, when the motorboat is in the water. The numbers displayed must be a plain block design, upper case and measure at least 3 inches in height. The numbers must be a color that contrasts with the color of the vessel and be placed to read from left to right. There is no fixed formula for what constitutes contrasting colors, but blue on black, black on blue, brown on black, black on dark red, etc., are not contrasting to the degree that they can be clearly read from 100 feet. The choices need to be dark letters on light colored boats or light letters on dark boats. In addition, a space equal to one letter or number must be left between the letters "SD" and the group of three numbers and the final group of letters. Annual or three-year number validation decals must be displayed adjacent to the numbers on motorized vessels or on each side of the forward part of the vessel on non-motorized vessels and must be readily visible. No numbers or letters other than the assigned identification numbers may appear on the forward part of the vessel.

NEW River Cam Check it out today. Live pictures from the Colorado River! FEDERAL REGULATIONS FOR RECREATIONAL BOATERS Safety And Survival Tips (continued) Small Boats and Water Activities Standing in a small boat raises the center of gravity, often to the point of capsizing. Standing for any reason or even changing position in a small boat can be dangerous, as is sitting on the gunwales or seat backs or on a pedestal seat while underway. A wave or sudden turn may cause a fall overboard or capsizing because of the raised center of gravity. Staying Afloat It is common belief that someone dressed in heavy clothing or waders will sink immediately if they fall overboard. This is not true. Air trapped in clothing provides considerable flotation, and bending the knees will trap air in waders, providing additional flotation. To stay afloat, remain calm, do not thrash about or try to remove clothing or footwear. This leads to exhaustion and increases the loss of air that keeps you afloat. Keep your knees bent, float on your back and paddle slowly to safety. Cold Water Survival Sudden immersion in cold water can induce rapid, uncontrolled breathing, cardiac arrest, and other life threatening situations which can result in drowning. Wearing a PFD will help reduce this condition. If you must enter the water, button up your clothing, wear a PFD, cover your head if possible and enter the water slowly.

Boating Rules Your location: Rideau Region Rideau Waterway Home Boating Information Site Index 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. Don't Drink and Drive The rules for piloting a boat while impaired is the same as driving a car. It is against the law. The Ontario Provincial Police have been given new powers in Ontario to crack down on drinking and boating. It's a dangerous practice so just don't do it. Most boating accidents that involve fatalities can be attributed to alcohol. It's against the law to have "care or control of a vessel underway while there is contained therein any open liquor not stored in accordance with the Liquor Act". It's fine to enjoy a drink, but it can only be done in a boat that is equipped with a permanently fitted head (washroom), sleeping accommodations and cooking facilities AND is properly docked or at anchor.
