Whether you own a canal boat, a riverboat or a yacht, it’s in your best interests to make sure it has all of the vital health and safety equipment. There is a wide range of safety devices and equipment available in boating stores, so whether you need life jackets, safety rings or a new navigation system, you’ll find everything you need at our local boating shop. Communication equipment like radios are also very vital for your safety, and a VHF radio with good receiving capability and basic transmit can save your life. Having a backup radio won’t do any harm either, whist it can also be sued by fellow boaters to warn of any potentially dangerous areas they need to watch out for. For river boaters; shallow areas or swimmers can be very dangerous and warning others in advance can help prevent a dangerous situation from unfolding.
