Kenosha Yacht Club to Host America's Boating Course Starting April 18, 2024
As boating enthusiasts eagerly prepare for the upcoming season, the Kenosha Yacht Club is pleased to announce the launch of the United States Power Squadron America's Boating Course, starting Thursday, April 18, 2024. This comprehensive course will provide essential knowledge and skills for safe and responsible boating, including information on the Boater ID Card requirement mandated by the state of Wisconsin.
Boating is a cherished pastime in Wisconsin, offering countless opportunities for adventure and relaxation on the state's picturesque waterways. However, ensuring safety on the water is paramount, and proper education is key to fostering a culture of responsible boating.
America's Boating Course, hosted by the Kenosha Yacht Club, will equip boaters with the necessary expertise to navigate Wisconsin's waters safely and confidently. From understanding navigational rules and regulations to recognizing potential hazards and practicing responsible boating etiquette, participants will gain invaluable insights to enhance their boating experience.
In addition to covering essential boating topics, the course will also address the Boater ID Card requirement mandated by the state of Wisconsin. Under Wisconsin law, individuals born on or after January 1, 1989, are required to possess a Boat ID Card to legally operate a motorboat or personal watercraft on Wisconsin waters. America's Boating Course offers participants the opportunity to fulfill this requirement while acquiring vital boating knowledge and skills.
"We are thrilled to host the America's Boating Course at the Kenosha Yacht Club," said Joyce Rinehart, Commodore at the Kenosha Yacht Club. "This course not only provides participants with the tools they need to stay safe on the water but also ensures compliance with Wisconsin's Boat ID Card requirement. We are committed to promoting responsible boating practices and enhancing the boating experience for our members and the community."
America's Boating Course at the Kenosha Yacht Club will consist of six informative sessions held on Thursday evenings, starting April 18, 2024. Whether you're a novice boater or a seasoned veteran, all are welcome to participate and enhance their boating knowledge.
