TOWING.

At towing, the towing rope length should be at least 3 lengths of the boat.
The steersman of the towed boat should be assisted by another crew member to monitor the process of
towing. In this case, certain communication gestures should be agreed upon beforehand.
DAMAGE OF ONE OF THE AIR CHAMBERS.

compartments) at the expense of the remaining air chambers and the hull. Thanks to it, you will be able to reach safely to the nearest
shore. Reduce the speed and shift your body to the undamaged part of the boat. Watch changes in stability. After this immediately head
to the nearest shore. To prevent penetration of water into the boat, pull the shell of the damaged air chambers upwards.
