SAFETY APLOAT 'ctusawte by the Federal Department of Transport to help small boat owners concerned with two basic questions: "IS MY BOAT PROPERLY EQUIPPED?" and "DO | OBSERVE THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE ROAD?" The attractive cover is blue- tinted this year and the 32 pages crammed with information but .the booklet fits easily in the back pocket of your boating jeans. Boating novices will be a little awed, and excited, as they study all the new knowledge, and vet- erans will skim for changes in 'laws and regulations. But no matter how you look at it Safety Afloat is indispens- able if you're in charge of a boat. Numbering and Licensing Your Boat You have just bought a boat, or are about to buy one, and you are asking yourself: "What do I do next?" If you buy a car, the first thing you do is license it. This is also true of pleasure boats which have propelling wer, either inboard or out- board, of 10 horsepower or more and do not exceed 20 tons regis- tered tonnage. Non-compliance with this requirement entails a fine of up to $100. You must get a licence before the boat is oper- ated on the water. If your motor is less than 10 horsepower, you need not get a licence, but many owners of small boats find it useful to get one anyway since it helps in case of theft and acci- dent. Where Do I Get a Licence? Licences can be _ obtained, without charge, from a Customs Officer at any Customs and Ex- cise office. Pleasure vessels over 20 tons do not need a licence but are, instead, required to be registered with the Registrar of Shipping, Department of Trans- port, Ottawa, or any other estab- lished port of registry. When My Boat Is Licensed, What Else Do I Have To Do? Before the boat is operated, the licence number issued must be marked in block characters in a colour contrasting to their background and not less than 3 inches in height: a. on each bow, or b. on a board or boards per- manently attached to the boat so that the number is clearly visible from each side. It's easy to get this instructive booklet. Waterfront police de- partments give them out.
