The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) will run one of its Lifejacket Clinics, where attendees can get their lifejackets checked and learn how to keep them in good working order. The local Garda crime prevention team will also be present to offer advice on how to secure boats and avoid thefts of outboard engines and trailers.
Several companies will attend the event, offering workshops, advice, and information on training courses, safety equipment, engine servicing, lifejacket servicing, preventative maintenance, engine troubleshooting and more. Whether you’re a new or seasoned boater, a complete beginner, or someone interested in learning more about how to be safe on and around the water, this event has something for everyone.
“Boating is a wonderful and rewarding activity, but it’s important to prioritize safety and be prepared for any situation,” says Donnchadh, the event's organiser. We’re excited to bring together a range of experts and offer a variety of activities to promote boating safety and education.”
