Damage to one of air chambers

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