Life Jacket Loaner Station - Grand Opening
San Pedro California – Cabrillo Way Marina and Freedom Boat Club – through a partnership with boating safety nonprofit, the Sea Tow Foundation – has announced the opening of a new Life Jacket Loaner Station, which is now available to LA West Channel boaters.
The station which is be located at Cabrillo Way Marina office 2293 S. Minor St. San Pedro holds life jackets that local boaters may borrow and use, free of charge. Available in sizes ranging from infant to Adult XL, these life jackets help to ensure each of a boat’s passengers have access to necessary safety equipment.
“We’re excited to partner with the Sea Tow Foundation and Cabrillo Way Marina to make this Life Jacket Loaner Station available to boaters in our area,” said Tim Lincoln Operations Manager at Freedom Boat Club LA. “This will help ensure boaters of all ages have enough proper-fitting life jackets, which will go a long way toward keeping people safe while they’re out enjoying the beautiful Southern California waters.”
Since 2008, the Sea Tow Foundation has distributed more than 40,000 life jackets to local businesses and organizations across the country. These stations are placed in locations where boaters will have easy access to the life jackets, such as boat ramps, marinas and parks. Boaters may borrow the life jackets at no cost and are asked to return them once they are finished so that they are available for others to use.
“The opening of this new Life Jacket Loaner Station in LA Harbor is a major achievement, and we are proud to partner with Cabrillo Way Marina and Freedom Boat Club to ensure the public’s access to these life jackets,” said Gail R. Kulp, the Sea Town Foundation’s executive director. “With such a strong boating culture, we know that these life jackets will save lives this boating season and for years to come.”Date and Time
