this, safety is an important issue for everyone who shares our waterways.

rience.

refuse overboard. Do your best to keep harmful compounds like gasoline, oil and antifreeze out of the water.

self with the boat before using it.

If this is your first boat, or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own

comfort and safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming

command” of the boat. Your dealer or national sailing federation or yacht club will be pleased to advise
