Safety Advice
• Whether on land or on the water, WATCH FOR OVERHEAD POWER
LINES. Contact with power lines can cause serious injury or death.
DO NOT sail while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
• Only sail in conditions in which you feel comfortable and where
you feel confident that you can safely sail the boat. Never go out in
conditions beyond your ability.
• Everyone on board should wear a life jacket at all times (see the
regulations in force).
• If you are in the water, remain in contact with the boat, even if it is
capsized. A sailboat can drift away faster than a person can swim.
• Never sail without a righting line.
• Wear appropriate clothes. Wear a wet suit or dry suit in cold
weather or cold water conditions.
Protect yourself against heat and sun.
• Learn about the local sea regulations.
• Learn the right of way rules and when in doubt, give way to others.
• When not sailing, always keep the boat pointed into the wind
whether in the water or on the beach.
• Read the instruction manual carefully.
• Make sure everyone on the boat reads and understands these
safety instructions.
