Introduction
Boating is becoming more popular ever year. There are numerous
types of recreational vessels on our waterways today involved in an
ever growing number of activities. Therefore, as a new boat owner
it is of the highest priority to learn about general boating practices
before operating your craft.
Your Regal dealer will answer many questions and provide valuable
“hands on” information during the completion of the new boat
delivery process. In addition, your dealer has received special factory
training on the product line and his services should be employed
to solve technical problems and periodic maintenance beyond the
scope of this manual. Also, your Regal dealer carries a line of fac-
tory approved parts and accessories.
Your Regal dealer can provide information regarding national train-
ing organizations such as the U.S. Power Squadron and United States
Coast Guard Auxiliary. Along with other organizations and litera-
ture, they can help build your “boating savvy” by developing the
necessary skills and awareness to be a safe and compotent skipper.
Your local library can also help in providing recommended boating
literature such as Chapman Piloting (Seamanship & Boat Handling
by Elbert S. Maloney). Remember, the waterways can change from
normal to abnormal conditions in a heartbeat. Knowing how to
react quickly comes from experience and knowledge which can be
gained through boating education.
Welcome aboard!
