2012 CBPBA Schedule of Events
Mar 21, 2012 - 5:22 PM - by Smitty1035
CBPBA 2012 Schedule of Events

Note: Event dates subject to change.

On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to apologize for the delay in getting this year's schedule out to the membership. We have been discussing the events calendar since our first meeting in early January. It was not until last week that we were able to make the final decision. Some events have been removed and others have been scaled down in an attempt to attract more of the membership and curb overall costs.

A couple of years ago, then president Andy Livermore, spearheaded an effort to fill the open weekends in the schedule with raft-ups in different locations. It was a huge success and we would like to bring that back again this year. ... [Read More]

NOTICE: Proof of Insurance Information
Feb 25, 2010 - 8:37 PM - by K2
NOTICE: Proof of insurance required for CBPBA boating events.

Annually, for all Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association boating events (i.e., official poker runs), Captains are required to have proof of insurance on file with the club.

We need a copy of the Declaration(s) of Coverage Page, showing what is covered and the coverage period. Our insurer has made this a requirement, it's not an option. So it's very important we meet the obligation, otherwise we'll have to turn people away the morning of an event.

No one is interested in the rates your paying or the T's and C's of the policy. Each policy has a 1 or 2 page section which is a Declaration of Coverage, showing what assets are covered by the policy and the... [Read More]

Vessel Safety Check and Examination
Mar 11, 2007 - 8:30 AM - by K2
Vessel Safety Check Program
The Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association fully supports the national Vessel Safety Check Program.

Annually, many of us go through the VSC program and receive the sticker. Scheduling a VSC is very easy, they'll even come to your dock. This is not a law enforcement review, if you don't pass, you WILL NOT receive any sort of ticket or citation, The purpose of the courtesy Vessel Safety Check is to find and identify any deficiencies before you're pulled over.

As you commission your boat, here's the list of minimum requirements. http://www.safetyseal.net/
