Boat Safety Class Wrap-Up


On April 26, 2025, Percy Priest Yacht Club held a Boat Safety Class led by Richard Lewis, APBA and TWRA test proctor. His clear, no-nonsense approach got everyone up to speed.

The Class of ‘25—Scott Kline, Karen King, Ashley Chalkley, Henry Fox, Joy Grapentine, Sydney Quatrini, and Ellen Wooton—handled the day’s challenges well. They practiced hooking up trailers, launching boats, docking, and reloading, guided by instructors Sam Beckman and Kenny Cooper, with safety officers Reggie Tullos and Eleanor Glover keeping watch. The training covered essentials like bimini tops and topping off fuel.

Thanks to John and Reggie for the photos capturing the action on Percy Priest Lake. The graduates are set to sail and motor safely—see you on the water!
