2. OPERATING THE BOAT __PAGE 8
2.1.7 Nautical charts
While navigating on unfamiliar waters, ensure that you have nautical charts covering a
sufficiently large area. Even if you are having a chart plotter, you should carry regular
charts onboard. There is always a risk for technical malfunction of electronic devices;
therefore, regular charts are also important.
2.1.8 Safety check of the boat

Check that water-exposed hatches are closed and watertight.

Check that the access door to the electrical compartment (under stern deck) is
closed and locks are tightened.

Make sure that at least one person onboard knows the location of the
firefighting equipment.

Check that bilge water is at minimum, and the electrical pump is working
(manual operation using helm push button).

Check the navigation lights, if you expect darkness

Check for any leakage of water into the boat/fuel from tanks/fuel lines.
2.1.9 Inform about your route
Always inform someone on the shore about your planned route, to enable fast support
in case of problems.
