This is the fourth and fifth America's Boating Channel video to feature members of America's Boating Club of Lake Murray. The first video, “Trailering A Boat,” exclusively featured our members and was released in conjunction with National Safe Boating Week 21-27 May 2022. Our members then appeared with members of other clubs in “Electronic Visual Distress Signals” and "Defensive Boating."

“Capacity Compliance” covers complying with the capacity plate permanently affixed to the hull on small vessels. Viewers will learn about how many people can be carried, maximum total weight, and engine size. Also featured are formulas and tables for calculating these limits. "Boat Operator Responsibilities" covers obligations of boat operators for ensuring safety from pre-departure to the conclusion of every voyage. Viewers will learn operational techniques and boater courtesy. Also featured are tips for avoiding negligence. In addition to Lake Murray members, these videos feature members of the Chattanooga Sail & Power Squadron and Tybee Light Sail & Power Squadron.

America’s Boating Channel videos are enjoying higher viewership levels as Americans have increasingly turned to boating as a recreational outlet.
