Huntington – Supervisor Chad A.
Lupinacci is urging all who venture out on Huntington’s waterways to register
for the free Boating Safety Certification Course offered under the Town’s
Victoria Gaines Boating Safety Program in March and May.
Supervisor Chad A. Lupinacci offered
words of caution for boaters and passengers on the Town’s waterways: “As a
waterfront community, it is our goal to ensure that all who enjoy Huntington’s
waterways are doing so in a safe and responsible manner in order to prevent
avoidable tragedies.”
The Town of Huntington offers free
Boating Safety Classes in March and May. Attendees who register, attend the
full 8-hour course, and pass the test will receive a NYS Boating Safety
credential issued by NYS Parks. Questions can be directed to the Harbormaster's
office at (631) 351-3255. Adults and children (ages 10 & up) are welcome to
register for the course online: huntingtonny.gov/boater-safety
In May 2019, Supervisor Chad A.
Lupinacci announced that the Town's boating safety program would from that
point on be known as the Town
of Huntington Victoria Gaines Boating Safety Program, honoring Victoria
Gaines and creating a legacy of preventing future boating tragedies in her
name.
