safety characteristics of the craft shall be assessed, executed and documented by competent people. The boat builder

boating. Always adjust the speed and direction of the craft to sea conditions.
If your vessel is equipped with a liferaft, carefully read the operating instructions. On board the vessel there should be
appropriate security equipment depending on the type of vessel, the features of its use and weather conditions.
