4.1 VISIBILITY FROM THE STEERING STATION
The vision of the helmsman from the steering station can be obstructed when under sail caused
by one or several variable conditions:
1) Load and load distribution;
2) Speed;
3) Sea conditions;
4) Rain and mist;
5) Darkness and fog;
6) Lights inside the boat;
7) Position of covers and curtains;
8) Persons or mobile equipment located in the helmsman's field of view.
List of sails able to obstruct a forward view:
- All except the staysail.
The international regulations to avoid collisions at sea (Col Reg / RIPAM) and rules require
appropriate and continuous watching as well as the observance of the right-of-way rules.
Observance of these rules is essential.
- Manoeuvrability is reduced at excessive speeds.
- There is a risk of loss of control during tight turns.
- Reduce speed before making a turn in any direction.
