SAFETY

STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
The stability and buoyancy of the craft have been thoroughly assessed by the Manufacture in
compliance with the requirements of the Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU.
The craft manufacturer guarantees that the boat meets all safety criteria during normal operating
conditions.
However, the person responsible for operating the craft must always keep in mind that the safety
of the craft and crew should be their priority at all times and that conditions on the water can
change suddenly with little prior notice.
Before using your boat, it is strongly recommended that appropriate training is given to all crew
members in the safe operation of the craft.
In case of an accident, do not panic and reassure passengers.
 Be aware that your boat, even if damaged, may provide the best shelter and facilitate your
rescue. Never leave the boat whilst it remains afloat. Remember that an inflatable boat, even
when full of water, is virtually unsinkable.

If, after an accident, a tube compartment deflates, bring it inside the boat, restore the load
balance to the opposite side of the deflated compartment and return to port at reduced speed.
