Information The working deck is the area of the boat that is safe for use at all
times. Areas outside the specified working deck should only be used
whilst leaving or arriving at a mooring or whilst the boat is not
underway.
Caution
In rough weather, hatches, lockers and companionway/doorways
should be closed to minimise the risk of water ingress.
Caution
Ensure all limber holes are clear
Warning
Most slips and falls occur during boarding and disembarking. Be
aware that wet decks can be slippery. Wear slip resistant footwear at
all times.
Caution
Seaways are infinitely variable and all craft can meet conditions that
will challenge the boats handling characteristics and/or the
helmsman's ability. Proceed with a margin for error at all times. Avoid
making sharp turns at speed, particularly in a short seaway.
Caution
It is strongly recommended that helmsmen receive adequate training
in boat handling before setting to sea for the first time.
Caution
Be aware that factors such as altitude, temperature, load, and bottom
growth may affect performance.
