8.6 Nautical charts
The nautical charts are important as the view from the lake is often different from the
view from land, therefore the conductor can easily lose orientation. The nautical charts
help him with the orientation and indicate the type and location of limits/obstacles on the
lake.
8.7 Weather forecast
Check the weather forecast before departure, as the weather is unpredictable and can
change quickly. To increase your safety and to prevent any unpleasant surprises, check for
any coming storms, the current blowing wind and the condition of the waves. Bad
weather, too large waves and strong wind can be dangerous or even deadly.
8.8 Measures before departure
Every conductor must ensure the following before the departure:
•
all passengers know the location of the life jackets and how to use them,
•
children and non-swimmers are wearing the life jackets during the entire
navigation,
•
advise your passengers to put on the life jackets anyway, especially in bad weather,
•
if the passengers are not wearing the life jackets, the conductor takes them out of
the compartments, so that they are ready for use immediately,
•
all rescue equipment and tools are reachable and ready for use during the entire
navigation,
•
the conductor knows how to react in emergencies.
9 DURING THE NAVIGATION
9.1 Position of the passengers during the navigation
During the navigation, all passengers including the conductor of the vessel must be
seated. They should not sit on the roof, the motor’s cover, the deck and other
inappropriate places on the vessel, but in the areas designed for sitting. The sitting areas
on the vessel are indicated in the picture below (indicated by „SEAT“). Sitting on other
areas can be dangerous.
