Safety Equipment and Life Jackets
Boating can be fun but it can also present some safety challenges. When you’re out on the water you unfortunately don’t have the option of pulling over to the side of the road and waiting for help in all scenarios and help may take significantly longer to arrive. We’re big proponents of safe boating as it makes all of our times more enjoyable on the water. If you’re new to boating or have questions about safe boating we would encourage you to connect with the local Canadian Power Squadron at boatingcourses.ca to register for events or classes. We stock the required safety equipment for most size boats. If your boat is over 40ft long, there may be an item or two we have to order but it will be quick to arrive. We have life jackets from great brands such as Salus Marine Wear, Jobe, and Mustang. We carry a variety of sizes from toddler to 2XL.
Epoxy and Polyester
Most boats are built from a version of fiberglass which is a dry cloth material mixed with either a liquid resin and hardener. The structure lasts a long time when properly cared for but occasionally it can deteriorate or be damaged in regular use. If this is happening to your boat, don’t worry, it can be fixed! We stock the West System line of marine grade epoxies and fillers along with gelcoat repair kits from Gel-Cote International and Evercoat. We typically order in fiberglass cloth as needed as it is next day delivery for us. Repair projects such as these typically look daunting and intimidating but most are do-able by a DIY’er with a little patience and preparation. We’ve done a few on our YouTube channel and would be happy to go through yours with you!
