ON THE WATER PASS IT ON…


DID YOU KNOW?


TASK:


‘Sustainable boating’ means enjoying our time on the water responsibly whilst making sure the environment stays in good shape for future generations to enjoy as well.


To vocally pass on sustainable boating tips from one boat to another whilst on the water.


RESOURCES: None.


1. 2. 3. 4.


5.


Give each boat a number starting with 1, 2, 3 etc. Ask boat 1 to sail alongside the safety RIB.


Provide this boat with a message from the list below.


Boat 1 must find boat 2 and pass on the message. Then boat 2 must find boat 3 and so on. When the final boat receives the message they must sail/paddle back to the instructor and relay the message.


Did it get round every boat and finish with the same meaning? You could use this activity for windsurfing too!


Check clean dry your boat, sails and clothing to stop the spread of invasive non- native species.


Use designated landing places to avoid damaging shallow habitats. Keep a tidy, safe boat to stop anything going overboard, remember ISAF’s Rule 55!


Apply bow and transom stickers on a clean dry surface to stop them peeling off and falling in the water.


Upcycle your old sails into a deckchair or beanbag!


The Killer Shrimp can survive for two weeks in damp conditions, remember to check clean dry! The Quagga Mussel’s larvae are called veliger! Choose eco-friendly boat wash if your hull and deck need a scrub!
