CAUTION
Always check the operating condition of your boat, of the engine and of all
the equipment required by the law. Do not leave for a long cruise without
checking the weather forecasts:
Inform your passengers about the navigation procedures and warn them
before doing any sharp manoeuvre. Always use the emergency cut-off
switch.
Observe marine regulations! Always check the operating conditions of the
fuel systems and check for leakage.
It is advisable to have a compass and a chart of the area you intend to
navigate. The chart will provide information about prohibited areas, and
much more.
Remember that the fuel consumption can raise considerably in bad
weather conditions. Autonomy must be calculated accordingly.
NOTE
Do not ever discharge waste, fuels, oils and other pollutants.
NOTE
Remember that all boats steer by the stern. This means that the stern of
your boat will swing in the direction opposite to your turn. For example,
when you turn your helm wheel to the left, the stern of the boat will swing to
the right, and viceversa.
This is especially important to keep in mind when docking, when operating
in close quarters with other boats, or when approaching someone in the
water.
