GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
ವ
Know how your boat handles under different
conditions. Recognize your limitations and the
boat's limitations. Modify speed in keeping with
weather, sea and traffic conditions.
ವ
Instruct passengers on location and use of safety
equipment and procedures.
ವ
Instruct passengers on the fundamentals of
operating your boat in case you are unable to do
so.
ವ
You are responsible for passenger's actions. If they
place themselves or the boat in danger,
immediately correct them.
WEATHER
The wind speed and wave height specified as the
upper limit for your category of boat does not mean
that you or your passengers can survive if your boat
is exposed to these conditions. It is only the most
experienced operators and crew that may be able to
operate a boat safely under these conditions. You
must always be aware of weather conditions and
head for port or protected waters in sufficient time to
avoid being caught in high winds and rough water.
Do not take chances!
Getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Bad
weather and/or rough sea or water conditions can
cause an unsafe situation. Consult local weather
information, or listen to the marine weather forecast
for the latest weather conditions or any impending
deterioration of the weather before setting out and
while underway. Following are a few basic weather-
related rules:
ವ
Check the weather forecast and the water
conditions
before
leaving
and
while
underway.
ವ
A sudden change in wind direction or speed
or an increase in wave height indicates
deteriorating weather.
ವ
Have everyone wear a life jacket.
ವ
If a storm approaches, immediately seek a
safe harbour.
ವ
If a storm hits, have everyone sit in the cabin
or on the cockpit deck in the boat. Head the
bow into the wind with enough power to
maintain slow headway.
ವ
If you encounter fog, determine your position,
set a safe course, slow down and alert other
boats of your presence with a sound signal.
ವ
If a lightning storm approaches, the safest
action is to dock and disembark. If you
cannot return to shore, have passengers go
inside the cabin and remain there until the
storm passes.
ವ
Lightning seeks a ground when it strikes. The
best protection is a properly grounded
lightning rod placed high enough over the
deck to provide a protective umbrella over
the hull. Depending upon the likelihood of
your being in a lightning storm, consult your
dealer for installation of a lightning rod. Stay
clear of the lightning rod, all attached wiring
and all metal parts of the boat.
ವ
Stay out of the water during a lightning
storm. If caught swimming during a storm,
get back into the boat and remain there until
the storm passes.
