Saturday, May 9th, Crescent Beach Marina, Surrey BC
Please join us for our annual Free Boat Safety check at the Crescent Beach Marina Open House.
RCMSAR Station 5 crews will take just 15-30 minutes to check your boat for all necessary safety equipment. An on-site company will check, recharge and certify your fire extinguishers for a small fee. Successful boats receive a decal. If your check is unsuccessful, you will be told how to remedy any deficiencies. RCMSAR does NOT forward any information to any enforcement agency regardless of whether a check is successful or not.
