Safety tips and advice
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SAILING
♦ Whether on land or on the water, watch for overhead power lines . Contact with po-
wer lines can cause serious injury or death.
♦ DO NOT sail while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
♦ Only sail in conditions in which you feel comfortable and where you feel confident that
you can safely sail the boat. Never go out in conditions beyond your ability .
♦ Everyone on board should wear a life jacket at all times .
♦ If you are in the water, remain in contact with the boat, even if it is capsized. A sail-
boat can drift away faster than a person can swim.
♦ Never sail without a righting line.
♦ Wear appropriate clothes . Wear a wet suit or dry suit in cold weather or cold water
conditions.

tions .
