Chapter 1 • Safety
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 fire is important. Have the proper
fire fighting equipment close at hand,
and in good working order to respond
quickly.
• Small fire extinguishers have small
discharge times. Aim at the base of the
fire with a sweeping motion to maximize
the use of the fire extinguisher contents.
