Free boat safety check from the RNLI

fergal.b

Just to remind people about this great offer by the RNLI "SEA CHECK" it would be a good idea to get it done before the good weather starts if it starts

Boating should be fun

Every year our lifeboats respond to thousands of incidents, many of which could have been prevented with simple safety precautions. Even the most experienced seafarers should prepare for the worst.

The RNLI can help make your boat as safe as possible – you owe it to yourself and your crew.

Book a SEA Check online today.

The RNLI would like to offer you a completely free, friendly and confidential service that looks at safety aspects involved with your boat. SEA Check is neither a test nor an inspection and there is no pass or fail. Conducted by one of our highly trained volunteers, SEA Check is a personal face-to-face safety advice service that takes place on board your own craft. You set the time and we tailor our visit to your vessel and the type of boating that you do.

Whether you’re a newcomer, or an experienced boater, our unique one-to-one service will give you an opportunity to ask any niggling questions on equipment or emergency procedures. To help you safely on your way we also provide a pack of free publications to ensure that next time you go afloat you are more prepared.

What are the benefits?
* A free independent check of safety equipment.
* An opportunity to discuss safety matters.
* The satisfaction of completing a check.
* A sticker showing your boat has completed the check.
* Your copy of the check form, which may attract further benefits.
* Helping the RNLI in its core activity of saving lives at sea.


Is SEA Check really free?
Absolutely! The RNLI believe that prevention is better than cure and we want to make sure that everyone gets the right advice. So the whole SEA Check service, even the phone call, is free.

It doesn’t matter where you live in the UK or the Republic of Ireland this important free service is available at your convenience and to anyone who goes to sea in almost any type of leisure craft. So what are you waiting for? CHECK IT OUT! Call us today on Freefone UK: 0800 328 0600 or IRE 1800 789 589, or apply for a SEA Check online.

If only our boat wasn't up on blocks in a field in Meath, I'd jump at this opportunity!

Wonder if they'll be repeating the offer next year?

They have been doing it for a few years now so you should be fine for next year.

They'll do it for you at any time of the year. You'll just need to contact them to arrange a time for the check.
