THE CREW
For your own safety and your crew’s, you shall respect some basic
principles:
- Before you sail, check the different components of your safety equi-
pment, their location and their expiry dates.
- Check the location and validity of the official documents as well.
- Tell the crew where the safety equipment is, how it works and the
elementary safety procedures to follow.
When sailing, always be able to indicate your precise position.
In case an incident on board should happen and help be asked, this
will be the very first question you will be asked.
