Saoh year we add.more nonrloe boatmen, all anxious to share in this popular pastUme. '^ a t bwn^s should realize that the respcQsibility for the safety of their craft passengers does not in any way decrease with the small ness of the boas. All skippers have a clearly defined set of rules and regulations whether they own a 12- foot Bowiboat or a sbsty-foot yacht. Paramount on this list, <1 believe, should be. to see that you have the proper equipment on bchrd.

The boat owner is also re? sponeibie for displaying the proper llgh-te on his craft at nlghit accord ing to the class and size of his boat. The skipper who falls to slow down when approaching other boats and does not take into account the fact ithalf the size of his wake^ may endanger another boat will not only be unpopular, he will aUq be break ing the law.
