The first OBL Service Craft was launched in the spring of 1989. On its very first day in the water, Dave Holding answers a Mayday from a 110' private yacht, Radel II with 12 persons onboard. Having struck ice while en route to Midland, Radel was flooding rapidly, going down by the stern. Happily, all 12 passengers were safely taken off the stricken vessel, boarding the 19' OBL Service Craft (shown below), all thanks to boaters like you!
The Ontario Boating League has provided timely, low-cost assistance to hundreds of boaters, members & non-members, since 1989. We're like a CAA for boaters . . . and much more!
