Specific procedures as to the maneuvers needed to leave the dock and return to
the dock smoothly vary with each situation. Information on the best procedures
can be found in Chapman’s (see Glossary), and through safe boating classes
offered in your area, through the Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Power Squadron.
For information on the courses offered in your area, call the “Boating Course
Hotline” at 1-800-336-2628.
Note: Refer to Section 1.1.2 for specific information on your engine controls.
While maneuvering around the dock, have all guests on board remain in the
cockpit, or cabin areas, if they are not involved in the handling of mooring lines.
5.3 WHILE UNDERWAY
As the skipper of your boat, everyone on board is your responsibility. Their safety
and enjoyment of the trip depends on your ability to operate your boat properly.
You must stay aware of the weather and sea conditions, surrounding boating
traffic, navigation of area waters and the condition of your boat and its equipment
and engines.
When operating your boat at night, or when visibility is significantly reduced, you
should display the proper running lights. For specific information on which lights
and signals are needed for different conditions, refer to information in Chapman’s
or from the Coast Guard.
Remember:
1. Alcohol severely reduces the ability to react to several dif-
ferent signals at once.
WARNING
!
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR BOAT WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
ALCOHOL. THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, AND/OR DEATH. SMART SKIPPERS STAY SOBER!
