WARNING
In all situations, adjust the speed of your boat to the surrounding conditions and keep a safe
margin. Pay special attention:
● To the state of the sea, to the currents, to the force of the wind.
● To traffic
● To port maneuvers
● To the passages in the Anchorage zones.
● Observe the priority rules as defined by the rules of the road and imposed by the COLREG.
● Ensure you always have enough distance to stop or maneuver if necessary to avoid a collision
● Observe the speed limit zones.
● By courtesy and safety for other vessels, be careful not to produce an important wake near
other boats
● Carefully fix the moving elements when the boat is ongoing
WARNING
●
You must equip your boat with lifelines. Anchorage points are provided on the bridge. Refer to
your boat's fittings plan.
● The stability of your boat has been studied taking into account the weight of the boat in light
condition, the standard equipment on board and the site catalogue options. Any change in the
layout of the masses on board (for example: the addition of a radar, the change of an engine,
etc...) can affect the stability, the attitude and the performance of your boat. Surf waves are
important dangers to stability. Towing a boat results in a significant overload, adversely affecting
the stability of your boat.
● Never:
Lift large weights using the boom.
