Looe Boat Watch
Answer
Join Looe Boat Watch to…
•
Get advice on securing your boat
•
Have your boat and engine details registered with the police
•
Benefit from LBOA’s partnership with other organisations
Looe Boat Owners Association was formed in 2002 and soon became well
established in the town and surrounding area.
Then, after a series of boat related crimes in 2007 the club started Looe Boat
Watch, formed after consultation and in partnership with Devon and Cornwall
Police.
Looe Boat Watch is fully supported by Looe Harbour Commissioners, Cornwall
County Council and boating businesses within Looe and we have over 20 Boat
Watch warning signs all around the Harbour and the river.
Join Us
By joining LBOA for just £15 family membership per annum, you are
automatically enrolled in Looe Boat Watch at no extra cost.
The details you provide of your boat and equipment when joining will be added
to a register of owner’s boats. This register is also copied to the police so that
owners can be identified and suspects challenged.
We provide:
•
Boat Watch decals for your boat (or car)
•
Hi-viz Boat Watch vests for members to wear whenever possible,
to reinforce our presence.
•
Guidance notes on what to do if you spot anything suspicious or
problems on moorings.
So JOIN NOW to protect your boat and help keep Boat crime out of Looe.
Do you need to update your boat details?
We operate Looe Boat Watch in conjunction with Cornwall Police.
If we have your up to date boat details, we will share them with them
with our Police contacts so should anything be stolen, or if any
suspicious activity is reported in the river, the affected boat owners can
be identified and hopefully be able to reclaim any recovered property.
Since the introduction of Boat Watch in 2007 the boat related crime in
Looe has dropped to virtually nil. However, the increased frequency of
reports of boats being stolen around the Cornwall area means the need
for Boat Watch and increased vigilance is now greater than ever.
You don’t need a boat to join
any dream will do!
