STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

With the government clearing the way for self-powered vessels, aka - canoes / kayaks / paddle boards, there is hope that engine and wind powered boating won’t be far behind.

As a reader of recent BIAV communications you’ll be aware that we are making the case for this as strongly as we can and amongst other things, are basing this on what we are referring to as ‘The Big 4’ –

• National Consistency

• Give the industry a chance of survival, save thousands more jobs

• Exercise including mental wellness - enjoy this important video clip in relation to this

• Evidence that it can be done safely and in line with the COVID requirements

As things change, and we hope they do, we will keep you posted. Meanwhile please feel free to add to this discussion and do whatever you can to influence that these next steps be taken.

If you have any queries or ideas, don’t hesitate to contact CEO Steve Walker here.
