An Important Reminder to all boat owners.
If you operate a boat with any kind of motor, gas or electric, you are required, by law, to have a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC).
The fine for not having the card with you on board when you are on the water is $175 plus costs…well over $200 in total. This fine applies even if you are not using the motor ( i.e. sailing, with a small motor to get you in or out of the harbour.)
You can obtain a PCOC by passing a 50 question exam designed to test your knowledge of safe boat handling.
The Lake of Two Mountains Power and Sail Squadron can teach you the required information as part of the Boating Course offered at HYC starting Jan 18th 2011
