Riverside advice on Boat Safety Scheme
7th Oct 2008
Advice on the Boat Safety Scheme will be given at a surgery at Ranworth Tourist Information Centre on Sunday 12 October from 10am until 4pm.
The last tranche of boats in the three year scheme - all private sailing craft and private motor boats under 11 sq m – need to comply with the scheme by 1 April 2009 and should now be checking out their craft to ensure they comply.
BSS examiners and staff from the BSS office and Broads Authority will be at the surgery to answer questions and offer first hand advice. Owners are invited to bring their boats along.
The Boat Safety Scheme is an MOT style examination for boats which have engines, cooking, heating, lighting and refrigerating facilities.
The Boat Safety Scheme Essential Guide can be bought from the Broads Authority or BSS office for £6.30 plus p and p or downloaded from www.broads-authority.gov.uk or www.boatsafetyscheme.com www.boatsafetyscheme.com. Lists of examiners are available from the Broads Authority on 01603 610734 or the BSS office on 01923 201278 or at www.boatsafetyscheme.com/search.
