Lets go Boating Getting Ready For The New Season Pleasure boating provides the freedom and exhilaration that makes it one of the country's fastest growing recreational ac- tivities. " Whether you have a canoe, a runabout, inboard, outboard, or _ sailing craft, pleasure-filled days await you, according to the Allied Boating Association of Canada. But with pleasure comes responsibility, repair, rules, and care. Both on, and off shore. Repairs and maintenance are of prime - importance--but it doesn't have to be costly. If you want to keep your boat in good operating condition, if you want to be certain of its seaworthi- ness--regular upkeep is neces- sary. In the springtime, and during winter layup take the time to think about your boat. To prepare for the launch-- here's a brief checklist: Paddles, sails, motors and the hull of the boat should always be in good condition. Aluminum or wooden hulls, and canvas covered cedar- strip canoes should be inspected thoroughly for wear and separa- tion, soft rot and fractures. The wiring and electrical circuits must be replaced when and wherever necessary, and your - boat should be scrubbed inside and out. Inside for comfort, outside for smoother sailing! Motors. Whatever the size, ( they require "a checkup and tuning for peak performance. 9 n Lifertyle Did you know that 12 million people in Canada consume alcohol? Many people drink with moder- ation and keep their health, but 720,000 drink in excess. You want a power unit that you can rely on at all times. Engine maintenance should be handled by a qualified mechanic. After all, the entire boat and its con- tents, including you... are riding on its safety. Often a new paint job will put a good craft into "shipshape." But if this involves the removal of old paint, it's best left to an expert. For instance, dry- sanding "anti-fouling" bottom paint can be irritating and hazar- dous because of the toxic chemi- cals in its dust. Never try to burn . paint off plywood or fibreglass, © or it will blister. And if you use caustic lye removers on alumi- num, Serious corrosion can re- sult. Unfortunately, as with any- thing of value, the threat of theft is always present. Take steps to safeguard your investment. Make a list of all your equip- ment, serial numbers and other identifying features, or take a photograph for positive identifi- cation. Then put it under lock and key. Buying insurance is recommended for your own pro- tection. Combine your know-how with common sense, maintain your craft properly, and you'll reap many happy returns from the boating season. Never, never throw caution to the wind--and you'll avoid a head-on collision with the consequences. Remember the rules of boat- ing... and you'll be way ahead in the game. So think about it, then Let's Go Boating! ® €) OpZition Did you know that a small beer contains as much alco- hol as a strong drink 'and that six ounces or more of alcohol per day can lead to alcoholism and cause cir- rhosis of the liver?
