• Bobbie the Safety Boat, a remote controlled land based training aid that captures the imagination of children and teaches them the importance of safety near or on the water; and
• The Boating Safety Trailer, a 45-foot semi-trailer that serves as a mobile boating safety display.  It is fully equipped with safety equipment and educational material and attends at numerous community events to provide the public with information and advice regarding boating safety and safety inspections.
