In some countries a driving license or an authorisation is required or particular
regulations apply.
Always maintain your boat correctly and take note of any wear which may occur over
time or as a result of frequent usage or incorrect use of the boat.
Any boat, regardless of how strongly it is built, can sustain serious damage through
incorrect handling. This cannot be reconciled with safe skippering. Always adjust the
speed and direction of travel of the boat to the sea conditions.
If your boat is equipped with a life raft, read its operating instructions carefully. The
boat should have the corresponding safety equipment on board (life jackets, safety belts
etc.) according to the type of boat, weather conditions etc. This equipment is
obligatory in some countries. The crew should be familiar with the use of all safety
equipment and manoeuvring in emergencies (man-overboard rescues, making fast etc.)
