XI. SAILING
WARNING
In all situations, adapt the speed of your boat to the surrounding conditions and always maintain a
safety margin. Pay particular attention to:
●
Sea conditions, currents and the strength of the wind
●
Movement of other boats
●
Manoeuvers in port
●
When passing through mooring areas
●
Obey the rules of right of way as set out in the Rules of the Road as established by COLREG
●
Ensure that you always have enough room for stopping or for any necessary manoeuvers to
avoid a collision.
●
Respect speed limits
●
Out of courtesy and for the safety of other boats, exercise care and attention to minimise your
boat's wake near other boats
● Movable items must be carefully secured when at sea
WARNING
●
You must fit your boat with grab lines. Anchor-points are provided on the deck. Please refer to
the deck fittings plan for your boat.
●
The stability of your boat has been designed taking into account the boat's weight specification
for light displacement, the standard equipment on board and the manufacturer's catalogue
options.
Any alteration to on-board weight distribution (for example: adding a radar, changing the engine,
etc.) can affect the stability, trim and performance of your boat.
Breaking waves represent a significant threat to stability.
Towing another boat produces significant extra loading, which will have an adverse effect on the
stability of your boat.
●
You must never:
Lift heavy weights using the boom.
