A large number of Boating Safety videos are available for viewing. These were produced by the Dayton Sail and Power Squadron under an ODNR grant. They have been reformatted and converted to "Flash" format to reduce their size and make them suitable for online viewing.

They are useful supplementary material for PE classes, and for general member viewing as refreshers.

Contact the Webmaster to request a DVD. The playing time (minutes/seconds) and the file size (in megabytes) are shown for each.
