If someone falls overboard the easiest way to get back on board is via the swim
ladder at the stern, which can also be pulled down by the person in the water.
Remember to switch off the engine as the swimmer approaches the boat.

5.10.2 Securing loose equipment
Secure all weighty items, such as the anchor, in place before departure. Bear in mind
that wind and turbulence can easily snatch away lighter objects.
5.10.3 Respect for the environment
Shorelines everywhere (sea and lakes alike in all countries where Buster boats are
sold) are a precious natural resource and their preservation is a matter of honour for
all sailors. Therefore avoid
−
fuel and oil leaks
−
disposing rubbish and waste in the water or on the shoreline
−
discharging washing detergents or solvents into the water
−
loud noise on the water and in harbours
−
generating backwash, especially in narrow passages and shallow waterways.
Pay special attention to local environmental laws and regulations. Familiarise
yourself with international regulations on preventing the contamination of the marine
environment (MARPOL) and comply with them as far as possible.
