DONATE YOUR BOAT TO SCIENCE
If you’re a boater with a passion for forensic science – and you have a
trailerable boat or PWC that your you might consider using as a tax write
off – a new program funded by a grant from the US Coast Guard could help the
nation’s waterway accident investigators improve training and better
understand boat collision dynamics. The National Association of State
Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) is using the grant to glean information
from a series of staged, two-vessel collisions starting this September in
Virginia. A variety of powered, trailerable watercraft from bass boats, open
runabouts and pontoon craft to small cabin cruisers and personal watercraft
will be involved. After the staged collisions are performed, NASBLA intends
to relocate the subject vessels to the National Transportation Safety Board’
s Training Academy in Ashburn, VA, where they will be used in future NASBLA
boating accident investigation training. --Full story:
