WOLFEBORO — The New Hampshire Boat Museum will welcome Lakes Region Community College’s Jacob Marsh, who will teach “Ready To Launch,” a basic boating class for women boaters on Saturday, June 18.
Designed for novices or seasoned boaters who want a review, “Ready for Launch” will cover safety inspections, engine fluid checks, batteries, jump starting, safe starting procedures, preparing boats when not in use, and more.
“The course also provides a solid foundation on the basics of boat motors and safety checks before heading out on the water,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings.
Regarding the intent behind the class, Cummings said the hope is that it can provide women with a safe and comfortable atmosphere to learn how to better handle and care for their boats.
“Boating is for everyone, regardless of age, sex, or ability,” she added. “It’s important that the New Hampshire Boat Museum continue to focus on broader education to ensure everyone can be safe and, of course, have fun on the water.”
Ready To Launch takes, developed in partnership with Lakes Region Community College, takes place on Saturday, June 18 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Back Bay Town Docks in Wolfeboro. To register or learn more about NHBM, visit nhbm.org.
