WARNING
In all situations, suit the speed of your boat to the surrounding conditions and always maintain a
safety margin. Pay particular attention to:
● The state of the sea, currents, the strength of the wind.
● To traffic
● To in-harbour shiphandling
● When passing through mooring areas.
● Obey the rules of priority as set out in the Rules of the Road and imposed by COLREG
● Ensure that you always leave enough room for stopping or manœuvring if necessary to avoid a
collision
● Respect speed limit zones
● Out of courtesy and for the safety of other boats, take care not to create a large wake near other
boats
WARNING
● You must fit your boat with grab lines. Anchor-points are provided on the deck. Please refer to the
deck fittings plan for your boat.
● The stability of your boat has been designed taking into account the boat's weight specification for
light displacement, the standard equipment on board and the manufacturer's catalogue options.
Any alteration to on-board weight distribution (for example: adding a radar, changing the engine, etc.)
can affect the stability, trim and performance of your boat.
Breaking waves represent a significant threat to stability.
Towing another boat produces significant extra loading, which will have an adverse effect on the
stability of your boat.
●
You must never:
Lift heavy weights using the boom.
