Medical Emergency
No one should act as a doctor if they are not prop-
erly trained and educated. Someone onboard your
boat should know first aid. First aid training is avail-
able through your local Red Cross. Keep a fully stocked
first aid kit onboard your boat at all times.
Equipment Failure
Steering, propulsion, or control failure can be prevented
by having your boat maintained correctly and checked
periodically. If systems onboard your yacht do fail, radio
for help or signal with flags and wait until help arrives.
Radio Communication
The operator is responsible for obtaining a radio
operator's permit and knowing and following proper
rules and procedures. Private yachts are not required to
have their radio on at all times; however, if your radio is
on, it should be tuned to channel 16 unless it is being
actively used. Channel 16 is the frequency for emer-
gency calls or initial calls between boats. After estab-
lishing contact on channel 16, change your frequency to
channel 22.
More information on radio communications can be
found in Chapman's Piloting.
Distress Signals
The operator is required to lend assistance to a vessel in
distress as long as his life or vessel is not put in harm's
