CAUTION
Always check the operating condition of your boat, of the engine and of all
the equipment required by the law. Do not leave for a long cruise without
checking the weather forecasts:
Inform your passengers about the navigation procedures and warn them
before doing any sharp manoeuvre. Always use the emergency cut-off
switch. Observe marine regulations! Always check the operating conditions
of the fuel systems and check for leakage.
It is advisable to have a compass and a chart of the area you intend to
navigate. The chart will provide information about prohibited areas, and
much more. Remember that the fuel consumption can raise considerably in
bad weather conditions. Autonomy must be calculated accordingly.
NOTE
RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT!
Do never discharge waste, fuels, oils and other pollutants.
NOTE
Remember that all boats steer by the stern. This means that the stern of
your boat will swing in the direction opposite to your turn. For example,
when you turn your helm wheel to the left, the stern of the boat will swing
to the left and the boat will steer to the right, and vice versa. This is
especially important to keep in mind when docking, when operating in
close quarters with other boats, or when approaching someone in the
water.
