5.10 SAFE OPERATION – OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS AND
INFORMATION
5.10.1 Protection from falling overboard and means of
reboarding
Your boat's working decks are indicated in Figure 6. Do not sit, stand
or stay on any other section of the boat when moving. Before you
get underway, make sure that the aft rails are in the locked posi-
tion. If someone falls overboard, the easiest way to reboard is via
the bathing/rescue ladder on the stern. A person in the water can
also deploy the ladder.
5.10.2 securing loose equipment
Secure all heavy equipment (for example, anchors) before getting
underway. Pay attention to lightweight items as well because they
can be easily taken away by wind. Keep all hatches closed when
underway.
5.10.3 Respect for the environment
Archipelagos and lakes are unique, and their conservation is a mat-
ter of honour for all boaters.
Do your best to avoid the following:
• fuel or oil spills
• disposing rubbish or waste into the water or on shore
• discharging detergents or solvents into the water
• loud noise both out on the water and in harbours
• generating high wakes, especially in narrow passages and
shallow waters.
Observe the local environmental legislation and regulations. Fami-
liarise yourself with the international regulations on the prevention
of marine pollution (MARPOL) and comply with these regulations
as far as possible.
