Capsizing
• “Capsized” is when a boat is on its side or
completely upside-down (usually as a result of
wave action, improper loading or load
shifting).
• Always wear your PFD, or have it within
reach.
• If the boat will not right itself, get out of the
water and climb onto the exposed hull.
• Do a head count for all passengers
• STAY TOGETHER
• Usually a capsizing will happen quickly and
without warning.
• Use whatever is at hand to signal for help.
• Fires can spread quickly. Your reaction
to the fi re is important. Have the proper
fi re fi ghting equipment close at hand,
and in good working order to respond
quickly.
• Small fi re extinguishers have small
discharge times. Aim at the base of the
fi re with a sweeping motion to maximize
the use of the fi re extinguisher contents.
