RECOMMENDED OPERATING PROCEDURE
WARNING
LIFEJACKETS: we recommend lifejackets be worn on board, and
without exception for children and non-swimmers.
CIRCUIT-BREAKER: always attach the circuit-breaker, preferably
to your wrist, or, if not, to a fixed part of the clothing you are
wearing. Take all necessary precautions to prevent the circuit-
breaker being tripped at the wrong time, which would cause a loss
of control which would be particularly dangerous during
manoeuvres.
NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS: never sail after consuming alcohol or
drugs. Ensure that your passengers stay sober.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PASSENGERS,
POWER OR WEIGHT.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR PASSENGERS are NEVER AT THE BOW
WITH THEIR LEGS OUTSIDE: Anyone falling overboard may be in
the path of the propeller.
ENSURE that passengers are in a secure position and avoid any
sudden changes of direction, except in cases of absolute
necessity.
In all cases, inform passengers before manoeuvring.
AVOID SHARP TURNS AT HIGH SPEED: You could eject your
passengers overboard and be ejected overboard yourself.
BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WHEN DOCKING: Arms or legs may
be injured if they are outside of the boat during the operation.
BE SURE TO ALWAYS ALLOW SUFFICIENT DISTANCE FOR
STOPPING OR MANOEUVRING, if necessary, to avoid a collision.
DO NOT FORGET THAT THE PROPELLER IS A HAZARD TO
SWIMMERS AND DIVERS:
Do not allow your passengers to swim when the engine is running,
and be especially careful when sailing near a swimming area.
The Alpha flag indicates the presence of divers and in this case it
is mandatory to keep away from the shore (at least 50 m).
NEVER LEAVE THE BOAT WITHOUT HAVING ANCHORED OR
MOORED YOUR BOAT.
