Building your American Tug

Finding and working closely with a good boat builder makes a world of difference in both satisfaction and confidence.  

You weren't going to buy a new vessel off the floor were you???

Although Electric Shock Drowning can occur virtually in any location where electricity is provided near water, the majority of Electric Shock Drowning deaths have occurred in public and private marinas and docks.  The typical victim of Electric Shock Drowning is a child swimming in or around a marina or dock where electricity is present.  The electricity that enters the water and causes Electric Shock Drowning originates from the wiring of the dock or marina, or from boats that are connected to the marina’s or dock’s power supply.

Kevin Ritz, one of the leading advocates of ESD awareness, tells the story of losing his son, Lucas, during an otherwise normal day at the marina. We encourage you to watch and share Lucas’ story to further Kevin’s cause and promote safe boating for those you love.
