wind with a danger of unusual waves and gusts. These are dangerous conditions that
necessitate a skilled and fit crew and a well-maintained boat.
If your craft is equipped with a life raft, study its instructions carefully. The boat must be
equipped with the appropriate safety equipment (life vests, safety harnesses, etc.) as
required for the boat type and the weather conditions. In some countries, this
equipment is compulsory. The crew must be familiar with the correct use and operation
of all safety equipment and be able to handle the boat in emergencies (including rescuing
a person who has fallen overboard, towing, etc.). Yachting schools and clubs arrange
rescue training and practice opportunities on a regular basis. Everyone aboard the craft
should wear a suitable personal flotation device (life vest or boating vest). Please note
that in some countries national boating regulations may require everyone aboard to
wear a personal flotation device whenever on board.
Finally, please pay respect to the environment by complying with good practise as well as
local, national and international (Marpol) regulations. Thank you!
Please retain this manual and provide it to the boat's next owner if you sell your
boat.
