3.3 Weather
Forecasts
The U.S. Coast Guard is in the process of discontinuing the display of weather
signals at its stations and other locations along all coasts in favor or the NOAA weather
broadcasts which are continuously broadcast on weather channels WX-1 and WX-2
(162.40 MHz and 162.55 MHz).
Good seamanship requires attention to the weather forecast before leaving port,
and while you are sailing. Tune in to VHF weather, and make it a practice to check the
broadcast on a regular basis in case there are changes in the forecast. (Radio not supplied
as standard equipment.)
3.4
Boating Safety Organizations
Every sailor was once a beginner. Very few were born into sailing families and
learned at their parents’ knees. Therefore, it is to everyone’s benefit that there are several
fine non-profit organizations that are ready to teach interested persons everything from
basic seamanship and piloting to celestial navigation.
Two of these organizations are:
United States Power Squadron (U.S.P.S.)
United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
3.5 Charts
There is not substitute for complete and up-to-date charts.
The Coast Guard is constantly making improvements on the aids to navigation
which change buoy locations, numbers, configurations, etc. These changes are reported
in the responsible Coast Guard District’s Local Notice to Mariners, and are on display at
all NOAA Chart Distributors. Before embarking on any trip outside your home port,
make certain that you have the latest editions of the chart, and that they are fully
corrected.
4.0 WINTERIZING
Winterizing is a relatively simple procedure on the Intrepid. We are assuming
that the boat will be dry stored in the following instructions. If you should decide to wet
store your boat, be sure to take adequate precautions against water freezing in the engine
and plumbing systems on your boat.
