21.01.2022 LED spotlights and lightbars Please respect other boater’s night vision by only using spotlights and lightbars where it is vital to pick up an unlit object (mooring buoys for instance) and by not shining it into the eyes of other skippers.

02.01.2022 Thank you Carnarvon Yacht Club for hosting a very successful Make a Difference lifejacket clinic last night. We saw over 25 jackets in total. Many of which were deemed unservicable, and handed over in exchange for a $30 discount voucher, to go towards a replacement. We were also able to provide replacement parts for many more, making them fit for purpose once more. Great result, and we look forward to seeing you next time we're passing through. Look out for upcoming clinics: https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine/life-jackets.asp
