My daughter has been boating with us since she was one--she wears a life jacket and is supervised. My parents exposed me to boating at a very young age as well. Now, I wouldn't take them out in dangerous rough seas or foul weather--but this is "common" sense. Best to get children exposed at an early age! I can understand concerns in a small skiff or dinghy but a 44' boat?
