LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Another Boating Safety Class is being offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 88 of Lake County, to assist boaters in complying with the California State Law SB941 which requires vessel operators to pass an approved boating safety course and obtain a California Boater Card.
This requirement which became effective Jan. 1, 2018, is being phased in over a period of seven years.
The next class is scheduled for April 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with the cost being $25 per person. Reservations are required.
As of Jan. 1, 2019, any person 25 years old or younger will be required to have in their possession this boater card.
The new boating law also states that when supervising a younger person who is operating a vessel, the supervisor or young person must have a boater card in their possession.
This includes operating all motorized vessels including personal water crafts on any waters in the jurisdiction of the state.
For location of class and additional information, please contact Flotilla Public Education Officer Betty Strach at 707-657-3029.
Dorothy De Lope is public affairs officer for Flotilla 88.

Newton, the club president, said Sunday's tournament included nine boats and 18 anglers using a variety of artificial baits.
"Pretty much everybody caught limits," he said. “It was all good, the bite was good. It was a good trip."
While all anglers got limits, the top three winners were:
– First place: Tracy Newton, 18.42 pounds;
– Second place: Jeff Klinstiver, 16.68 pounds;
– Third place: Kelley Allard, 15.56 pounds.
Newton said the club fishes Clear Lake a couple of times each year with plans to return to Lake County again on July 13.
Founded in 1975, Bass Busters of Yuba City is one of the oldest bass clubs on the West Coast, Newton said, adding that he joined when he was 18.
