The town issued this announcement this morning:
Huntington, NY - In a continued effort to promote the safety of boaters in the Town of Huntington, Councilman Mark Cuthbertson announced today that he would again be sponsoring the Boating Safety Course on February 25th, 27th and 29th from 6:00-9:00PM at the Centerport Fire Department.This year’s class already has 65 attendees signed up. The class will provide detailed information on how captains and skippers alike can have a more safe and enjoyable season on the water. The course will cover the basics in safety and meets state requirements for a license to operate personal watercrafts such as jet skis. Completion of the 3-day course also means a discount for adults on their marine insurance and children can get their license.
“This demonstrates our active interest in safety on behalf of our boating community,” remarked Councilman Cuthbertson. “Every year nearly 5,000 people experience a boating emergency in America and I am committed to seeing all of our yachters and watercraft enthusiasts in Huntington enjoy the season without accident or injury.”
Centerport Fire Department has graciously agreed to host the classes and is located at 9 Park Circle, Centerport, NY just north of the intersection of 25A and Broadway-Greenlawn Road.
