This is the first in a series of reports that will convey the results of and describe tools to be produced from the newly designed and implemented NRBS. This report focuses on overall boating participation, boat ownership, the types of boats used, and the amount of time that boats are used (e.g., person hours on recreational boats) for different regions of the country during 2011. Boating person-hours represent the hours of exposure to boating incidents (in short “exposure hours”), and the estimated numbers produced by NRBS are already being used to assess the effectiveness of efforts to reduce boating deaths and accidents.
