Maneuvering
Maneuvering this boat requires experience and a high level of skill. Always operate any boat
within the limits of your experience. If you do not have this experience, ask someone to instruct
you or gain experience through experimentation under controlled conditions.
If you do not have this experience, do not operate this boat under high-risk conditions, such as:
• Heavy wind or current
• High-traffic areas
• Mission-related time limitations
• Confined or restricted areas
• Carrying hazardous cargo
• Compromised boat or engine systems
Always follow established boating regulations and directions from boating law authorities when
maneuvering or underway. Always maneuver around objects, docks, and other boats at idle
speed .
Always evaluate the wind strength, wind direction, current strength, and current direction as you
maneuver. If possible, approach a dock or another boat moving into the wind or current.
Always keep your crew informed and prepared. Have mooring lines and fenders in place before
you reach the dock.
