Operating Your Tender
Everyone participating in a water sport
should observe these guidelines:
•
Be considerate to others
you share the
water with.
•
Allow only capable swimmers
to take
part in any water sport.
•
Always wear an approved personal
flotation device
(PFD). Wearing a
properly designed PFD helps a stunned or
unconscious person stay afloat.
•
Have a second person aboard
to
observe the person being towed and inform
the driver about the participant’s hand signals.
The driver must give full attention to operating
the boat and the waters ahead.
•
Do not tow a person
in any water sport
on a short tow rope such that the person
inhales exhaust fumes in concentration.
Inhalation of concentrated exhaust fumes,
which contain carbon monoxide, can result in
CO poisoning, personal injury and death.
•
Give immediate attention
to a person
who has fallen. He or she is vulnerable in the
water alone and may not be seen by other
boaters.
•
Approach a person in the water
from
the lee side (opposite the direction of the
wind). Turn off the motor before coming close
to the person.
•
Turn off engine and anchor the boat
before swimming. Participate in water sports
only in safe areas. Stay away from other
boats, channels, beaches, restricted areas,
swimmers, and heavily travelled waterways
and under water obstructions.
•
Swim only in areas designated as safe
for swimming. These are usually marked with
a swim area buoy.
•
Do not swim alone or at night
.
