1.2.2 BEFORE START
Before starting, it is important to ensure that safety equipment is approved on board, such as
life jackets, mooring equipment, anchors and aids for lensing. This is the users responsibility.
Wear a life jacket or flotation garment.
1.2.3 WEATHER AND WIND
Assess the weather, the state of the sea, and visibility. Is the boat equipment and your skill-
level adequate for the waters you are about to sail in? Respect the weather and wind and never
go out in rough seas unless you and the crew are sure you can handle them, always adjust
the boat’s speed to the size of the waves and avoid getting waves directly in from the side.
Do not use a boat in poor visibility or after dark unless it has the stipulated navigation lights.
1.2.4 LOADING AND MAX NUMBER OF PEOPLE
Do not overload the boat, distribute the load evenly and make sure that everyone on board
has flotation vests. The maximum permissible load and maximum number of persons are
stated in the boat manufacturer's sign and master data on page 2 of this manual.
The stability of the boat is reduced if there is water from sea spray at the bottom. Avoid
standing upright while driving as it can be slippery and the boat may have movements that
are difficult to predict. Never stand more people upright in the boat at the same time.
Regardless of the number of persons on board, the weight of persons, cargo and motor must
never exceed the maximum load stated on the builders plate.
All loads must be secured before starting. Loose loads can be shifted and adversely affect
stability.
1.2.5 Fuel
Check that there is enough fuel, even reserve in case of bad weather. Spare cans for petrol
must not be placed in living rooms connected to battery compartments as there is a risk of
explosion.
1.2.6 In case of problems
Stop the engine before inspecting the propeller and with person(s) in the water by the boat!
