Blind Fishing Boat

Lawrence Crossing the Bay

Sponsors of the Blind Fishing Boat assist the Blind Fishing Boat initiative to reach out to other fishers or potential fishers with limited or no sight, and their family and friends, by supporting out-reach activities.  Outreach activities include:

• Production of audio-video materials featuring the world’s first fishing boat for the blind and related fishing and boating equipment and services that are of interest to fishers with limited or no sight and the sighted alike;
• Publication of reports of sea-trials of the Blind Fishing Boat and equipment and services on the Blind Fishing Boat .Com website and other internet fishing and blind-related forums and websites;
• Production and distribution of accessible information in alternate formats (e.g. large print, braille, audio) featuring information about the sport of blind fishing and boating;
• Attendance at fishing, boating and blindness related events, tournaments and shows;
• Live presentations of the Blind Fishing Boat initiative and my in-sights as a fisher without sight at shows and events, both public and private;

Sponsors also make sea trials of the Blind Fishing Boat possible through the generous provision of products and services for use in research or sea trials.  Because of their generous support readers of the Blind Fishing Boat .Com website benefit from a rich source of information about techniques and equipment that are of special interest to fishers with limited or no sight.  Sharing this knowledge assists others to adopt fishing and boating practices or make purchases of products and services that compliment each individual’s unique requirements.

Sponsors benefit from their generosity in the following ways:

• Prominent placement of a sponsor’s logo, products and literature at exhibits during sportsman and other shows;
