BoatBoy Marine Training offers a new Small Boat Handling &
Trailering Course for the Angler & Family Boater

March, 2003. For immediate release-To help make smaller boats safer, Boatboy Marine Training, a three-year-old rapidly growing company, has just announced their latest safety class, which targets the small boater who trailers their boat.

"It is vital that even the small boat owner know how to handle their boat, understand high speed running, trailering safety precautions and how to protect themselves and others in the event of an emergency," says Capt. Russ Cohen, general manager of Boatboy Marine Training. "Boating is a great pastime of summer and Boatboy would like to help make it both safe and enjoyable for everyone, including the small boater, since there are so many more of them than larger boats."

The latest course includes training for men, women, couples and families. This course
includes the following: detailed waterproof instructions on driving, launching and retrieving your boat on a trailer, high speed running and decreased stability, overloading and capsizing (a leading cause of death on the water), docking at launch ramps, drifting, anchoring, and safety techniques geared towards the fisherman. "Most small boaters are first time boaters and need help with all the safety requirements," says Capt. Russ Cohen. "The solution is to make our course informative, fun, and affordable for the first time boater at Their favorite ramp or boating location."

In addition to Boatboy's continuing line of personalized boating services, Boatboy Marine Training provides "on-water" instruction by USCG Licensed Captains who will come directly to the customer's dock and train them using their boat on their waterway.
