Family set to launch ‘Emily’s Code’ to save lives
Emily’s Code, which honours the memory of teenager Emily Gardner, is set to launch on 4 March at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show in London. The Code, which was debated in Westminster Hall, aims to prevent accidents at sea by highlighting key safety messages.
Emily Gardner was 14 when she drowned in a boating accident due to an ill-fitting buoyancy aid which snagged on a cleat when the boat capsized. Emily’s Code highlights a number of factors that are essential for safe boating and which could have prevented Emily’s accident.
Emily’s parents are launching the Code with the support of the RYA, HM Coastguard, British Water Ski and Wakeboard, and the RNLI to raise awareness for small boat owners and users.
