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 rigt size and that they are operational .
All passengers should put on life-saving jackets
CHILDREN and non-swimmers MUST BE A FLOATATION DEVICE AT ALL TIMES.
Despite the strong shell of the boat we are recommended to handle sharp and pricking objects being on
board with care. For example, it concerns a knife blade, fish-hook point, etc.
