12.4 YACHT’S AREAS AND ESCAPE ROUTES
In order to cope with the different emergency situations that could
determine the abandonment of the yacht (fire, collision with sinking
hazard etc.) in the quickest and safest way, the rules in force require an
“escape plan” informing about the safest and most secure, as well as the
quickest, paths (from any yacht area) for taking shelter and reaching the
“collecting points”, outdoors, from which it will be easier to leave the
yacht.
The diagram below, represents the yacht’s general lay-outs, subdivided
according to the areas they include:
A. Flybridge
B. Salon, dinette and galley
C. Steering gear compartment
D. Engine room
E. Master, guests’, VIP staterooms
S
CAUTION
You have therefore, according to the nature and position of the danger
or fire source, to choose very carefully the most safe and suitable
escape route.
