You should be always sure that the number of people on board never exceeds that specified in the
owner's manual or on the builder's plate provided on the transom.
The boat will retain an adequate floatability and will not keel over only provided that the load is arranged
reasonably. Therefore, do not accommodate all passengers on the same side of the boat.
All passengers should be accommodated inside the boat. The occupied seats should not be left
throughout the entire sailing time.
Arrange the cargo to be carried uniformly inside the boat, all items being reliable secured on the bottom
of the boat.
When sailing with an outboard engine the steersman should shift his body forward in the course of
acceleration to prevent the boat forebody from raising under the force of upthrust waves.
Always check that floatation devices for children are of the right size and that they are operational.
All passengers should put on life-saving jackets.
CHILDREN and non-swimmers MUST WEAR A FLOATATION DEVICE AT ALL TIMES.
The boat must be equipped with liferaft(s) to be stowed for the crew limit. If the liferaft is a rigid canister
type, it shall be mounted in the cockpit, ready for use. If the liferaft is contained in a soft bag then it may
be stowed in a compartment but shall be readily available for use.
Liferaft not supplied by the manufacturer and must be installed by owner.
