3. SAFETY INFORMATION
Personal preparation and owner’s responsibility.
Before attempting to operate the boat, ensure that you have appropriate
experience to handle the boat safely in the anticipated sea and wind
conditions, and that all the crew have sufficient boating experience and that
they are familiar with emergency procedures (man overboard recovery,
towing).
Always check the weather forecast before leaving shore, and ensure that the
predicted weather and sea conditions are suitable for the boat (see 3.1).
clothing should be suitable for the anticipated weather conditions and
footwear appropriate for boating.
Before going afloat, all persons should be wearing a suitable buoyancy aid
(life jacket or personal floatation device), which should be worn at all time
when on the water. Note that in some countries it is a legal requirement to
wear a buoyancy aid that complies with their national regulations at all times.
It is recommended that you carry a whistle or horn to attract attention in case
outside assistance is required.
The owner/operator is responsible for the safe operation of the boat. His/her
responsibilities include properly preparing and maintaining the boat and safety
equipment, knowledge of the boat operation, safety training of the crew,
following the navigation rules (including knowledge of the Collision
Regulations and local navigation rules), care of the environment, insurance
and where necessary registration.
