America's Boating Channel Launches LIFE JACKET WEAR

Raleigh, NC, 22 July 2022 – The sixth video in America’s Boating Channel’s™ sixth season of boating safety and boater education videos, “LIFE JACKET WEAR,” will debut this Saturday morning July 23 at 9 AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

The new title will be featured on AmericasBoatingChannel.com, America’s Boating Channel on YouTube, and across online social media as a mid-summer fundamental safety reminder to boaters. The video service showcased boating-under-the-influence (BUI) prevention videos over the Fourth of July holiday weekend to support the Operation Dry Water campaign.

“LIFE JACKET WEAR” covers the benefits of wearing a life jacket whenever underway in a recreational vessel and the dangers of not doing so. Viewers will learn how to don a life jacket in the water – and how difficult that can be. Also featured are tips for setting an example by wearing a life jacket

The new video exclusively features members of the Chattanooga Sail & Power Squadron, coordinated by squadron field producer Sue Kuemmel.

America’s Boating Channel’s sixth season of videos, which are premiering throughout the 2022 boating season, includes “FIRE EXTINGUISHER REGULATIONS,” “TRAILERING A BOAT,” “DEFENSIVE BOATING,” “ELECTRONIC CHARTS AND VIRTUAL ATONS,” COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC,” “LIFE JACKET WEAR,” “BOAT OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES,” “NAVIGATING INLETS,” “ELECTRONIC VISUAL DISTRESS SIGNALS,” and “CAPACITY COMPLIANCE.”

“NAVIGATING INLETS,” which premiered on July 16, will also be featured in America’s Boating Channel’s “INLET DRONE VIDEOS” video service offering. The new series will provide narrated aerial video coverage of high-traffic US waterway entrances to help recreational boaters prepare for their first sorties through high-traffic waterway entrances. Filming was recently completed at Cape Fear, NC, the first inlet to be covered in the new video service offering. To learn more, email [email protected].
