3.2.4 Righting of capsized boat:
Without righting aid:
If the boat is capsized all persons swim to leeward side of the boat and stand
outside on the bottom of the boat. Pull the capsizing line tight and try to right up
the boat by moving their weights.
Danger:
Pay attention that persons in water will not hurt during uprighting
the boat. Persons staying inside the boat during capsizing have
to dive out below gunwale. If the person inside the boat is injured
or jammed, give assistance to get the person out of the boat, if
possible.
3.2.5 Rescue of floating persons:
!
Attach rope ladder port or starboard side to clamp or lifelines.
!
Pull helpless person with two persons amidship over the gunwale into
the boat (if possible horizontal, declutch the engine)
!
An injured person can be placed on the floor. The person should be
supported by crew members. (Use thermal protective aid from loose
equipment if applicable).
